When it comes to wood outdoor furniture, there are usually two main types to choose from when you're looking at modern, stylish furniture: teak or acacia. These two woods are commonly used for outdoor furniture thanks to their durability and organic-luxe aesthetic.
"Teak and acacia are two of the most popular hardwoods used in outdoor furniture, and both are excellent choices for various reasons," says Victoria Fletcher, a senior buyer for outdoor furniture brand Garden Trading. "However, while they share similarities in durability and aesthetic appeal, each wood has distinct characteristics that might make one a better option depending on the specific needs of the user."
