Anderson's feature only the highest quality, plantation-grown teak furniture -- all of it is built from premier quality Javanese Tectona Grandis, or true teak which the origin people call it "JATI". Unlike the many types of tropical hardwood available today mistakenly called "Teak," Tectona Grandis has superior qualities of grain, oil, color, strength and durability. Plantation-grown Javanese teak is also a renewable resource, with nearly nine times more wood planted each year than is harvested. True teak, unlike its many less expensive imitators, cannot grow in tropical rainforests and is grown instead in the dry highlands of Java.
