Teak Block End Table by Strata
With two sizes, the hollow Teak Blocks are a unique and functional addition to any home or garden. Teak Blocks are made from Thai Teak and finished in an eco-friendly Livos Oak oil with visible tree rings throughout the piece. Used as an end table, display stand, or stool, each Teak Block is truly a functional work of art.
The color and grain of your piece of nature will be unique, and may include small checks or cracks that occur when the wood is dried. Sizes are approximate. Products could have visible marks from tools used, patches from small repairs, knot holes, natural inclusions or holes. There may be various separations or cracks on your piece when it arrives. There may be some slight variation in size, color, texture, and finish.

From the Manufacturer
As with all natural exotic wood products there will be some slight variation in color, texture, and finish color. This is mainly due to the underlying natural wood tones, which the translucent oil is applied over, creating a truly unique, one-of-a-kind, functional work of art. Products could have visible marks from tools used, patches from small repairs, knot holes, natural inclusions, and/or wormholes. There will be various separations or cracks on your piece when it arrives. These naturally occurred as the wood was dried and shrank. Over time, some continued shrinkage may accentuate existing separations or generate new ones. This does not compromise the structural performance or integrity of the wood and is considered inherent to the natural beauty of the design. These variations are not considered flaws and not acceptable reasons for returns.
All of our products are natural and handmade. Therefore sizes are just an approximation but are generally within plus or minus 1/4″. We cannot guarantee the products are perfectly square or flat. We do create useable and reasonably flat surfaces while highlighting the natural wood inclusions and hand-carved surfaces. We do not fill in or repair carving marks, or natural inclusions like knots and branch growths. Instead, we sand to blend them in and assure smooth edges and surfaces that are useable. On some products, we will use the same wood to fill in old worm holes and such.
The wood is from a tropical climate, and like all wood, is still "alive". It will change some over time based on your climate, and whether you place the piece in direct sunlight, or by a heating or cooling source, like in front of an air vent. Small cracks may appear but this is normal and will stop occurring over time. Of course, if a major crack develops that threatens the structural integrity of the product, we will allow an exchange.
For Monkey Pod wood (Samanea saman aka Acacia, Rain Tree, and other names depending on the country of origin) the heartwood color ranges from light reddish beiges to dark reddish browns (some with black swirls). Due to humidity, the wood ages in front of your eyes as small cracks may appear in the grain over time depending on the climate where you live. It's a small slice of life transported straight into your home. direct sunlight can cause more checking (cracking) on the ends, but simply rub in a natural neutral color wood oil to seal again and enjoy the beauty of Monkey Pod wood!
The color, after finish is applied, will vary from the pictures depicted for every single piece. This is because the oil is the same tone but the color of the underlying wood of the piece it is going on varies. Monkey Pod Wood (Acacia, Rain Tree), like all woods, has varying tones of browns in the reddish to black ranges depending on its age. The new growth or "white wood" ages from white to yellowish changing to light yellowish browns over time. Therefore we will not accept a return due to color discrepancies from the product pictures depicted.

Many futon companies today have become so concerned with being the cheapest they have lost sight of the important details of creating lasting furniture. At Strata they feel futons should have the look of conventional furniture with the versatility of a futon. Strata believes consumers should get a high-quality product at a fair price. Of course, there are less expensive options, but as the adage says, You get what you pay for. All too often, a person buys an inexpensive frame and due to poor construction and/or design, their new purchase has already failed them. With Strata, spending little extra guarantees a long-lasting addition to your home.
Strata offers many distinct advantages over any other futon frames. Most importantly, all their frames feature a patented front-loading, wall hugger mechanism. This allows the conversion of the frame from sofa to bed without moving the frame away from the wall. Who wants to move a heavy frame and mattress from the wall in order to go to bed? Place the frame next to the wall and the front loading mechanism allows you to convert the frame from sofa to bed quickly and easily. Unlike typical futons, having a wall hugger ensures you will not scratch or dent your walls. As they say at Strata: Are Your Walls Safe? Comparing the competition will leave only one brand of frame standing-and not moving-Strata Furniture.
Strata offers two distinct collections of frames. Signature Collection features frames with a finished back. Strata is the only futon company that offers this unique design. The finished back combines the look of a conventional sofa with the versatility of a futon frame resulting in a piece of furniture that looks beautiful from any view. In the bed position, these stunning frames appear more like a daybed than a futon.
Carriage Collection continues our tradition of stylish frames with unique designs. These frames incorporate the same patented front-loading, wall-hugging mechanism used in the Signature Collection. The hidden hardware, a wide variety of finishes, and sturdy construction make our frames unequaled in the marketplace.
Strata frames are built at a quality manufacturing facility according to rigid standards and quality control procedures. Strata expect each product to not only look great and operate smoothly but also to be extremely well built and to last.
Strata Furniture frames are well-known for their strength and construction. Their product design utilizes more wood to ensure durability and comfort by better supporting the mattress.
