FAQs
What are the dimensions of the Bok Outdoor Dining Table?
Please refer to the product specifications section on the retailer's website for exact dimensions, as they can vary by model.
Is assembly difficult?
Assembly typically involves attaching the legs. While straightforward, it's recommended to have two people due to the weight of solid teak. Detailed instructions are provided.
How often should I treat the teak wood?
For optimal color retention, applying a teak protector or sealer annually is recommended. If you prefer the natural weathered look, treatment is less critical.
Can this table be left outdoors year-round?
While durable, it is recommended to protect the table during harsh winter months by covering it or storing it in a sheltered area to prolong its lifespan and finish.
What is the difference between the black tainted and natural teak finishes?
The black tainted finish provides a dark, contemporary look with added UV protection. Natural teak is the raw wood, which will age to a silvery-grey patina over time unless treated.
Is the grooved tabletop functional or just decorative?
The grooves are functional, designed to allow the solid teak wood to expand and contract naturally with seasonal changes in humidity and temperature, preventing stress on the wood.
Troubleshooting
Table has a slight wobble after assembly.
Ensure all bolts and screws are tightened securely. Check that the table is on a level surface. Adjust the leg levelers if applicable.
The teak surface shows white powdery residue.
This is often a sign of teak oil leaching out, especially in humid conditions. Clean the surface with a soft brush or cloth and mild soap and water. Allow to dry completely.
Minor scratches or marks on the tabletop.
Light scratches can often be buffed out with a fine-grit sandpaper (start with 220 grit and work up) and then reapply a teak protector or finish to match. For deeper marks, consult a furniture care specialist.
Tabletop shows signs of weathering (turning grey).
This is a natural process for teak exposed to sunlight and elements. If you prefer the original color, clean the surface and apply a teak cleaner followed by a teak protector or stain.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Assembly is typically required for this table. Please refer to the specific instruction manual provided with your purchase for detailed steps. Generally, this involves attaching the legs to the tabletop. It is recommended to have two people for assembly due to the weight of the solid teak.
Compatibility:
This table is specifically designed for outdoor use. It is compatible with a wide range of outdoor chairs. Consider pairing it with chairs that complement the natural beauty of teak or the modern aesthetic of the black finish.
Care:
To maintain the beauty and longevity of the solid teak, regular care is essential:
- Cleaning: Wipe down the table regularly with a damp cloth to remove dust and debris. For tougher stains, use a mild soap and water solution, then rinse thoroughly and dry.
- Protection: Apply a teak protector or sealer annually, especially if you want to maintain the original color. Without treatment, teak will naturally weather to a silvery-grey patina, which is also aesthetically pleasing.
- Seasonal Care: In colder climates, consider covering the table during harsh winter months or storing it in a dry, protected area to minimize exposure to extreme weather.
- Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, as they can damage the wood's surface.
