    PRODUCTS


    What type of wood is your furniture made of?

    At Scanteak, we use mostly Teak Wood. Other types of wood that you may come across while exploring our collections are ply and teak veneer. We do not use MDF chipboard in our products.
    Every item’s design and functionality affects the material used in creating every piece, and hence some items may be made using a combination of solid teak and ply. Others, with simpler designs and functionality (such as dining tables or chairs), are easily achieved using solid teak wood.
    An item's overall weight, affordability, intended use, and even customers' feedback are also factors that are taken into consideration in the production of each piece.

    What is ply, and how is it different from chipboard?

    Here is a useful article that explains the differences.

    Why does Scanteak have plywood items?

    In our years of operations, we have received feedback from customers who wish for furniture pieces that last longer than MDF chipboard furniture, but remain at a price point that’s not too far off. Such customers commonly purchase for rental houses, or for their children, with the intention to replace the item several years later. Such customers, while seeking teak material, are not yet looking for solid teak pieces. Our teak ply and veneer range was created as demand for such items grew.

    Where does your Teak Wood come from?

    Our furniture is made of Teak Wood grown in plantations in Java, Indonesia, where the number of trees felled per year is strictly monitored by the Indonesian government. In adhering to such regulations, our factories are certified by the Rainforest Alliance and the SVLK.
    More information can be found on our teak articles

    Where can I see your products on display?

    Products can be seen at our Pasir Gudang Warehouse; we recommend make reservation with us via Live Chat before making a trip down.

    How can I find out if a particular item is in stock?

    Please contact us via Live Chat.

    Do all your products only come in one colour?

    Yes, although shades may differ very slightly due to the natural colouring of the Teak Wood used.

    Can you stain my purchased item to a darker colour?

    No, as we do not provide customization services. 

    I would like to request for two pieces with identical markings and patterns.

    As Teak Wood is a natural material, no two pieces are alike. The rings, grains and patterns of a tree are all different, just like how humans have different fingerprints.

    How do I maintain my Teak furniture piece?

    We have prepared some general tips for caring for your Teak furniture here.
    You can also view our product care guide for more details.

    For shelves and chest of drawers, it is recommended to place heavier items on lower shelves/drawers, and to avoid opening all (or more than two) drawers at the same time due to a shift in center of gravity which may cause chests of drawers to fall forward.

    For homes with children, please take care to ensure that children do not climb on furniture, including (but not limited to) shelves/chests of drawers.

    How do I maintain my cushion covers?

    Most of our cushion covers can be Dry Cleaned and Machine/hand Washed (water temperature should not exceed 30 degrees Celsius). Dry cleaning solvent should not contain trichloroethylene. Please do not Bleach or Tumble Dry them, as this can lead to discolouration or shrinking. For ironing, please use low heat.

    You can also view our product care guide for more details.

    Do you sell cushions and covers for old sofa models?

    Yes, we do, albeit for limited models. Due to the evolution of sofa structures, we would recommend that you bring a sample of your existing cushion cover to your nearest showroom so that our sales staff may better advise you.

    What density are your sofa cushions?

    Most of our sofa cushions are of 31kg/cbm density. We regret to inform that we do not handle customization of cushion densities.
