New Teak Furniture Cracked

[T.Mandy 0]

Hi,

I bought a few pieces of teak furniture from a teak furniture shop recommended by a forumer. The shop owner was friendly and knowledgable. The workmanship looked good.

Less than a year, I found some crack lines (10-80 cm long) in 2 big pieces. I was told it'd not damage the structure. The shop would touch up the lines, but no replacement.

Is it common to see crack lines in teak furniture? Any advice?

Thank you.
