Copeland Furniture means sustainability!

I found this cool video about Copeland Furniture, one of our favorite vendors! They are out of Vermont, and have been into sustainable furniture building since the 70's.  Their Lumber come from within 500 miles from the factory, and works with suppliers who can certify that the wood they purchase from them comes from forests that are not threatened, do not have high conservation significance, do not contain genetically modified trees.
Copeland is also part of the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC).  The Trademark of the FSC indicates that the wood used to make the product comes from a forest which is well managed according to strict environmental, social and economic standards. The forest of origin has been independently inspected and evaluated according to the principles and criteria for forest management agreed and approved by the FSC. FSC is an international, non-profit association whose membership comprises environmental and social groups and progressive forestry and wood retail companies working in partnership to improve forest management worldwide.
For 32 years, Copeland Furniture has sought to stay loyal to its mission to produce furniture for discerning consumers who have an appreciation for good design, quality, and value. Copeland has also worked hard to stay loyal to the New England tradition of quality craftsmanship. Their work ethic embraces the belief that continuous improvement is ultimately what best serves the customer.

How to care for your Teak Furniture


Teak is a tropical hardwood with a beautiful golden /honey brown color when it 
is new. Over time, as natural teak is exposed to the elements, it gradually 
changes color from the honey color of new teak to a silver-gray patina which 
distinguishes finely aged, outdoor teak. After a while this silver-gray patina 
deteriorates to a dark-gray and greenish look if it remains untreated.

Teak furniture, when left bare and unsanded, will fade to a natural silver-gray 
color. This color transformation does not affect the durability of the teak 
furniture or the wood itself. 

To maintain the smooth finish and golden brown color, you will need to sand your 
teak furniture regularly. To prolong the period of time needed between 
sandings, teak oil may also be applied.

If you choose to apply teak oil, apply every 3 months, or follow the teak oil 
container instructions. If you choose to maintain the smooth brown finish of 
your new teak furniture, this method requires some maintenance for upkeep, such 
as sanding and reapplication of teak oil. Teak oil does not prolong the life of 
teak , it simply maintains the golden brown color. 

Staining:

Please note, once you stain your teak, you cannot return to the natural golden 
brown or silver-gray color without numerous sandings. Stain is intended to be 
permanent. If you choose to stain your furniture after it has turned 
silver-gray, you must first sand it before applying stain.

Do not leave teak furniture in puddles of water or on wet ground.

Come in to Danish Furniture to see our vast selection of Solid Teak dining tables and chairs.
