Natural Wood Furniture

Teak patio furniture and eucalyptus patio furniture are two of the most popular natural wood choices for outdoor patio furniture. Teak is a tropical hardwood prized for its natural oils, which make it highly resistant to water, rot, and insects. Eucalyptus is a durable hardwood with a smooth, natural grain that brings a warm, organic look to outdoor spaces. Both hold up well against moisture and general weathering.

Natural wood patio furniture is well suited for humid and coastal environments. Dense hardwoods like teak are naturally resistant to moisture, rot, and salt air, making them reliable for outdoor use near the coast. Unlike some metal materials, these woods do not rust, which adds to their long-term durability in challenging climates.

Natural wood patio furniture develops a silvery-gray patina over time when exposed to sunlight and the elements or you can use Rooms To Go maintenace products like teak furniture cleaner, teak weather defender or teak furniture shield to maintain its warm wood tone.

1. Wipe regularly with a damp cloth to remove dust, pollen, and spills  

2. Wash with mild soap and water, then dry thoroughly to prevent moisture from sitting on the surface. 

3. Avoid harsh cleaners, which can scratch or dull the wood surface or strip their protective oils.  

You can find outdoor furniture covers and cleaners designed to help protect and maintain your pieces between uses.

Yes, high-quality natural woods like teak and eucalyptus are built to withstand outdoor conditions year-round, including rain and cold temperatures. The wood itself doesn't need to come indoors for the season. What it's exposed to during winter (heavy snow load, prolonged ice, debris) is more of a factor in its long-term appearance than the cold itself.

Using a fitted furniture cover during the off-season or periods of heavy storms helps protect your natural wood patio furniture, keeping debris and standing moisture off the surface. This also reduces how often you'll need to oil or reseal the wood, and protects any cushions left in place. If you're storing cushions separately in a dry area over winter, a cover on the frame alone is usually enough. Rooms To Go offers outdoor furniture covers and cleaners sized for natural wood pieces.

Rooms To Go carries natural wood patio furniture in a variety of styles, including outdoor seating sets, dining sets, sectionals, chat sets, and bar-height dining sets. Many collections are available in coordinating multi-piece groupings, making it easier to furnish a full patio space with a cohesive look. Our top picks: the Pleasant Bay collection combines the natural strength and weather resistance of solid teak with a clean, versatile design while the Raphina Collection brings a polished, contemporary look with warm eucalyptus and woven texture.

Natural wood patio furniture can be compared to other outdoor materials based on your priorities. Teak and eucalyptus offer a warm, organic aesthetic and strong natural weather resistance, while aluminum outdoor furniture is lightweight and rust-proof. Wicker outdoor furniture provides a more textured look, and all-weather poly lumber is engineered specifically for low maintenance in harsh conditions.
