Natural teak is light brown, but some manufacturers also stain it dark brown for variety. Industry sources say those who know their teak tend to go for the natural color, so the beauty of the grain shows up better. The grain is also another guide to buying quality teak; go for teak grain that is clear and consistent. A good teak grain is usually oval-shaped. Between teak alternatives (e.g. teak ply) and solid teak, the latter is the better choice. Teak ply, which is teak veneer pasted over plywood, have no oval-shaped grains, but just straight lines. Some manufacturers use particle board for the base of the drawers. Knock on the wood to be sure. Solid teak should have full sound, whereas particle board sounds hollow. Besides teak, here are some other popular hardwoods used in furniture production: • Walnut – Found throughout Eastern United States, its wood comes in a light brown to a dark chocolate brown.
