Teak is not the cheapest furniture that can be purchased for outdoor use, but it is the hardiest form of wood and best suited to withstand the elements over time. This simple dining table and chair set comes from Diamond Teak who focuses solely on creating teak outdoor furniture. Their line is very similar with the theme of using wooden slats and shaping them into the various designs whether they become tables, benches, chairs, or lounges. The table has an extra feature with a small piece of glass in the center. There is a teak cover for the glass that can be kept on the space or removed when entertaining. Prices: table - $2,020; chair - $1,020 (with arms also available). More information: here.
