If you are in the market for new teak outdoor furniture, here’s what you need to know about the Kingsley Bate brand. 

Kingsley Bate’s Commitment to the Environment 

Protecting the Earth’s environment is crucial, which is why you should be purchasing your wood furniture from brands that are committed to sustainable practices and setting a good example. Kingsley Bate only uses wood from carefully controlled plantations. These plantations are in Indonesia, established by Dutch colonists in the 19th century. Today, the Indonesian government monitors these plantations to ensure only a limited amount of trees are removed. They also ensure that there’s an equal amount of reforestation that follows any tree felling. 

In 1983, Kingsley Bate teamed up with the Indonesian government to develop a Java teak furniture program. The success of this program demonstrates that there are sustainable ways to harvest teak wood without compromising the natural resources in the area. 

Because the demand for teak continues to increase, Kingsley Bate now also sources some teak from Burma. The quality of this teak is as good as that from Java. When you buy teak furniture from Kingsley Bate, you know it’s ethically and sustainably sourced. They are not contributing to the mass deforestation in the Amazon, which led to some public hatred toward some furniture companies.
