SUSTAINABLE TEAK
Summit teak comes from a tropical deciduous hardwood tree native to Southeast Asia. The teakwood tree (Tectona grandis) is plantation-grown on the Indonesian island of Java.
Teak is highly valued because of its beautiful grain and color and is preferred in shipbuilding and furniture making. Teak is strong and durable, almost immune to decay and contains an oil that is resistant to insects. The teakwood tree grows to 150 ft (46m) in height and is 3 to 8 ft (0.9 to 2.4m) in diameter at the base. The leaves are among the largest in the world, 2 ft (.61m) long and 1.5ft (.46m) wide. They yield a purple dye and are used for thatching and wrapping. The tree also produces small fragrant white flowers that grow in clusters and a fruit the size of a cherry that contains oily seeds.
Since 1987, Summit furniture has been manufactured from the finest quality sustainable, plantation-grown teak.
LIFETIME WARRANTY
Summit warrants our furniture for residential use to the original owner to be free from defects in materials and workmanship. The warranty is not transferable and is limited to repair or replacement at Summit’s discretion. The exceptions to this policy are the Modern Collection, which carries a five year warranty, and the Summit umbrella, which carries a one year warranty only. Contact Summit for information regarding all commercial warranties. Summit specifically disclaims warranties of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose.
Summit uses only the finest plantation-grown teak to manufacture our designs. Teak that is exposed to elements will weather, turning to a silver gray patina. The grain may check (separate). In most cases, checking is to be expected and does not jeopardize the structural integrity of the furniture.
