Hi all, We are planning to purchase a lot of furniture soon. We would like to understand the diff between Indonesian and Burmese teak. One shop has quoted for Burmese teak, but about 30% higher than the other shop which quoted for Indonesian teak. Can you please help us? Thanks erveryone!

Indonesian teak is typically plantation teak, meaning they were planted and harvest, the trees are younger and theoretically the grain patterns are not as good looking as Burmese teak.

Burmese teak typically comes from older trees, but if you like the grain pattern on the Indonesian teak piece it should not make a difference.
