Do you like teak furniture?  I love it.  I think we've been trained by the furniture industry to see teak as the quintessential luxury outdoor furniture choice.  But it's popularity has come at a price:  the destruction of much rainforest land (and indigenous species) all around the tropics.

Our faux teak (aka Plastique) furniture is designed to look just like teak, but it's made from recycled plastic bags.  How cool is that?  A win-win.  Customers are not just helping to save the rainforest, they're taking waste out of the waste stream and keeping it out of our landfills.

But we learned long ago that we have to first get the style, quality and price right before we can talk to customers about the environmental benefits of our furniture.  The quality of our outdoor furniture is commensurate with that of our indoor furniture– about as high as you will find anywhere.

With style, we're starting with this modern look which seems to be very popular.  Do you like it?  Right now only our modern outdoor lines are available in Plastique but I'd like to be able to offer faux teak in all of our outdoor furniture styles soon.

Now price.  It's high, there's no way around that.  It's about the same as real teak furniture.  But Plastique is something you will never have to replace.  We are so certain of this, we give it a lifetime guarantee and I've never seen anyone do that for outdoor furniture, have you?

If you're interested in teak furniture, give Rebecca a call and she'll send you a free PlasTeak sample.  You'll be amazed.  I've never seen a faux wood this good.  It really looks and feels like teak. 

But unlike real teak, PlasTeak doesn't rot, chip or degrade from sun, sand, wind, salt spray– or anything else I know of.  It's easy to clean (just use a hose or power washer) and like the plastic bags it comes from, it will take about a million years to degrade.  That's probably going to be long enough for most of us.

If you have PlasTeak furniture, please comment and let us know how you like it.  Thanks!
