In the West, teak wood has been employed primarily for outdoor furniture, boat decks, and other articles where weather resistance is a desirable. In recent years, as Asian interior design has in many ways come to the fore, teak has become a fashionable choice for contemporary cabinets.
Modern Asian cabinetry is made notable by its clean, horizontal design patterns. Teak works perfectly for this purpose because of its straight grains, consistent pattern lines and textures. These features as well as its warm yellowish-brown tone have inspired kitchen designers desiring an Asian theme.
One possibility of Teak Cabinetry being ao popular in Asia is perhaps due to its origin; Teak (Tectona), is a tropical hardwood tree that is native to south and southeast Asia, namely Bangladesh, Myanmar and Thailand. In this part of the world, Teak is extensively used to make doors, furniture and columns.
One drawback of natural teak wood is that it now represents environmental concerns. Representing a nice alternative, premium quality Teak Cabinetry can now be made with an engineered wood veneer that is applied to a substrate. This creates an Asian inspired kitchen cabinet interior that is not only eco-friendly but reasonably priced.

As with all engineered wood veneer cabinets, these teak cabinets are easy to clean, resistant to staining, warping, and cracking.
