FAQs
What is the primary benefit of the grooved tabletop?
The grooves are designed to accommodate the natural expansion and contraction of the teak wood due to changes in temperature and humidity, helping to prevent cracks and maintain structural integrity.
How often should I oil or treat the black tainted teak?
It is recommended to treat the table annually or as needed, depending on your climate and exposure to the elements, to maintain the black finish and protect the wood.
Can this table be left outdoors year-round?
While constructed for outdoor use, covering the table during harsh winter months or prolonged periods of extreme weather is recommended to prolong its lifespan and maintain its finish.
What is the best way to clean the Bok Outdoor Dining Table?
Wipe the table with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners. For deeper cleaning, use a soft brush gently or a specialized teak cleaner.
How many people can typically sit at this table?
The Bok Outdoor Dining Table offers ample space and can comfortably seat six to eight people, making it ideal for family meals and entertaining.
What is the difference between the black and natural teak versions?
The black version features a tainted finish that provides a contemporary, darker aesthetic, while the natural teak version showcases the wood's inherent color with a varnish finish, offering a more traditional look.
Troubleshooting
Table wobbles after assembly.
Ensure all leg bolts are tightened securely and evenly. Check if the table is on a level surface. Minor adjustments to leg placement might be needed.
White powdery residue on the surface.
This is often efflorescence, a natural process for teak. Clean with a soft brush or cloth. If it persists, a mild teak cleaner may be necessary.
Surface appears dull or faded.
The black tainted finish may require reapplication of a suitable teak protector or oil. Clean the surface thoroughly before applying any treatment.
Minor scratches or dents on the tabletop.
Light scratches can often be buffed out with a soft cloth. For deeper marks, consider a teak repair kit or consult a furniture specialist. Consistent maintenance helps prevent damage.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup: The Bok Outdoor Dining Table typically arrives with minimal assembly required. Ensure all components are present before starting. Follow the included instructions carefully to attach legs securely. It is recommended to assemble on a soft surface to avoid scratching the teak.
Compatibility: This table is designed for outdoor use and is compatible with most standard outdoor dining chairs. Its substantial size makes it suitable for patios, decks, and spacious garden areas.
Care: To maintain the beauty and longevity of the solid teak, regular cleaning and occasional oiling are recommended.
- Cleaning: Wipe the table with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. For stubborn stains, a soft brush can be used gently.
- Maintenance: Teak wood naturally weathers to a silver-grey patina if left untreated. To preserve the black tainted finish, use a specialized teak protector or oil designed for treated teak.

- Seasonal Care: While the grooved tabletop adapts to seasonal changes, it's advisable to cover the table during prolonged periods of harsh weather or winter to offer extra protection.
