The best teak outdoor furniture is a mainstay in the outdoor furniture space for its hardiness against the elements, its easy-to-clean surfaces, and the natural patina that it develops over time—from a warm honey to a weathered gray. The wood isn’t as readily known for its style chops, though we’ve noted in the past that it can unexpectedly elevate everything from bathtubs (see the carved wood beauty in Maggie Gyllenhaal’s brownstone) to sofas with its coastal-leaning charm.
With origins in Southeast Asia, teak pieces are also generally low-maintenance, and our editors have a few weatherproofing tips on how to preserve their look and quality (Hint: You may need to add teak oil or sealer to your cart ASAP).
Our favorite outdoor furniture retailers offer a wide selection of teak silhouettes for your patio, porch, or backyard, including best-selling outdoor sectionals, loveseats, accent chairs, dining sets, and more. Many of these are even paired with plush cushioning and weather-resistant covers. Below, see more handsome teak designs that embody craftsmanship and functionality for your outdoor space.

If your taste leans modern and minimalist, consider Neighbor your design destination. The brand calls its best-selling teak sofa the “Haven Sofa,” which is a fitting name for its cozy, quick-drying foam cushions and modern Scandi-style bones. We think it would look just as nice inside or outside your home. Customize your piece by choosing between a cushioned or teak armrest, and a range of fadeproof Sunbrella upholstery colors. (And if you want more hands-on research, Neighbor will ship a free swatch kit right to your door.)
Castlery’s Rio sofa was the first outdoor furniture item AD ever tested, and we still stand by our glowing review of it today. Senior SEO analyst Stewart Savin was particularly impressed by its looks and how well it held up over time. “It’s gorgeous—if I had room I’d be tempted to use it inside,” she wrote. “This sofa has withstood pollen, snowstorms, thunderstorms, and even a hurricane! Plus our pup enjoys lounging on it as much as we do.” Keep it as a standalone piece in your porch, or combine it with the matching lounge chairs and table to fully furnish a corner of your backyard.
If your outdoor space allows, consider bringing in Yardbird’s eco-friendly outdoor sofa set. Coastal dwellers or dreamers will appreciate the rounded corners that add charm to an otherwise simple set. The company also prides itself on its sustainably-made furnishings, with their responsibly-sourced, grade A teak as proof.
We’d be remiss not to call out Amazon’s vast selection of outdoor furniture, including these weatherproof stools from Sunnydaze. Perch them at your outdoor bar for poolside cocktail hour or even pair a duo with a tall table for an outdoor bistro set.
If your poolside furniture setup already includes a low-profile teak chaise lounger that you love, create your own patio set with this compact side table that will withstand icy drinks and any out-of-bounds splashing.
Anthropologie’s home section is extensive, but don’t sleep on their outdoor furniture. The woven detailing around the back of this armless chair gives it some earthy texture, while the neutral sunproof fabric feels at home in all kinds of outdoor oases. It can easily stand on its own, or you could line up multiple of them together to create a makeshift modular sofa. If you’re working with a smaller space, style it with a side table and decorative pillow to liven up the blank slate white cushion.
CB2 puts a midcentury-modern twist on this teak loveseat, which features a dramatically angled base topped with weather-resistant cushion covers. We could easily see this posted up next to a fire feature or garden. The brand notes that it will weather to a silvery grey if left untreated, but to give you an idea of how that patina will look, the brand also provides imagery forecasting what you’ll see at one month, two months, and six months post-delivery.
Everyone will want to pull up a chair at this teak dining table, which comes with four chairs and a teak bench (though you can also purchase seating separately). Drawing inspiration from surfboards, it’s a laid-back addition to your coastal outdoor space that feels warm and refined, from your beach house to your backyard.
Known for sustainable, Forest Stewardship Council–certified outdoor patio furniture, Outer offers an entire modular sofa system for a spacious backyard. Each piece can operate as standalone chairs, a loveseat, or as a component to a sectional. Nab a side table to place in between and you’ll have a comfortable conversation set for a porch or oversized balcony.
For an even more modular outdoor living space, purchase one of these neutral teak ottomans. Use it as a footrest for your conversation set chairs or as an extension of the sofa system.
This isn’t your grandma’s Adirondack chair. Neighbor’s update to an all-time camp-side classic features a solid teak wood frame with slats on the back and seat and an angled seat and back that lets you recline with a bevvy in hand. Purchase them individually or with a complementary ottoman to kick up your feet even more comfortably (PS: There’s a version made with recycled plastic too.)
