Our Quality

There are a lot of companies making furniture, but few can match the quality of BarrGallery, Inc. We use only the best quality teak and we always KILN DRY our teak wood prior to the construction of our furniture. If it isn’t kiln dried... it won’t last.

Our finishing is top notch with several finishing options available. The most popular being a natural finish of fine sanded wood and a teak oil with a drop of stain to bring out the wood grain.

Select Timber

The teak wood that we use to manufacture our furniture products is 100% ecologically grown and harvested by Perum Perhutani, which is an the Indonesian state owned timber resource and management company.

All of our teak is acquired through Perum Perhutani and it’s agents. We select only the first quality teak wood to manufacture our furniture and we never sacrifice our quality by using inferior quality timber. All of our teak wood is kiln dried prior to construction of our furniture. As is the case with all high quality furniture, BarrGallery, Inc. Products are manufactured with interlocking mortise and tenon joints and our hardware is made from solid brass.

Teak is one of the hardest woods in the world. It is extremely dense and it also has a very high oil content which makes it very resistant to damage including cracking, splitting or rotting. Of course, this is only true if it has been properly kiln dried. Teak wood that has not been kiln dried will split and crack when taken from the moist and humid climate of Indonesia to a dry climate as is the case in many other regions of the world. For this reason, we ALWAYS kiln dry our teak wood to just the right moisture content to insure stability and long lasting durability in the wood in any climate.

Teak was once used as a ship building material because of it’s high resistance to the elements and so, it is a natural choice for theconstruction of outdoor and garden furniture because of it’s durability in harsh elements. After a period of time and given that you do not cover up or store your teak furniture indoors, it will turn a soft grey color as it becomes part of your home or garden.
