Teak Double Butterfly Leaf Outdoor Dining Table

Details at a Glance

FSC-certified Brazilian teak resists moisture, insects, and UV damage through natural oils that weather years of direct sun and rain without sealant or rot. The Lloyd Flanders Teak Double Butterfly Leaf Outdoor Dining Table is an extendable teak dining table for 8-10 guests with weather-resistant construction, available at LOOMLAN Outdoor with free shipping. It extends from 86.25 to 110 inches using leaves stored beneath the surface, combining American craftsmanship with 142-pound stability that holds steady in wind.

How Well Does FSC-Certified Teak Handle Rain and UV Exposure?

Teak's natural oils repel water and resist insects, mildew, and UV fading without requiring sealant or yearly maintenance. This table uses sustainably harvested Brazilian teak -- FSC-certified hardwood grown and cut under controlled environmental standards -- so the grain density is high and the oils penetrate deep into the wood. Over time, teak exposed to full sun weathers to a silver-gray patina, which is part of its character and doesn't compromise structural integrity. The weather-resistant rope accents add detail without absorbing moisture or breaking down in humidity. Teak holds up year-round outdoors where aluminum would scorch in summer heat and where composite materials fade or crack under direct UV.

Do You Have to Bring It Inside for Winter?

No -- teak's inherent weather resistance lets it stay outdoors through freezing temperatures, snow, and ice. You can leave this table uncovered, though a breathable furniture cover prevents debris buildup and slows the natural silvering process if you prefer to keep the golden tone. Clean the surface once or twice a year with teak cleaner and a soft brush to remove dirt and pollen. If you want to maintain the original antique gray or slow the patina, apply teak oil two to three times per season; if you're fine with the silver finish, no oiling is needed at all. The 142-pound weight keeps the table planted, so winter wind won't tip or shift it across a deck.

Where Does This Work Best on a Patio or Deck?

A rectangular table 86 to 110 inches long fits best on covered patios or open decks where the length provides seating along both sides without crowding walkways. Pair it with chairs from the outdoor dining tables collection for a cohesive look, or anchor a smaller breakfast nook with pieces from the outdoor bistro tables range. The double butterfly leaf system lets you start at 86.25 inches for everyday meals and extend to 110 inches when hosting -- the leaves pull out from beneath the top, so you never have to hunt for storage or carry panels from a garage.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does teak need to be oiled?

No, teak's natural oils protect it without treatment. You can apply teak oil two to three times a year if you want to maintain the golden color, but if you let it age naturally to silver-gray, no oiling is required.

Will teak turn gray, and can I stop it?

Yes, teak weathers to a silver patina in sunlight. You can slow or reverse it with regular teak oil application, or embrace the patina as part of the wood's character -- both are perfectly weatherproof.

Can this stay outside all year?

Yes, FSC-certified teak resists moisture, UV, and freezing temperatures year-round. A breathable cover is optional for debris control but not required for protection.

Will the finish fade in direct sun?

Teak ages from golden to silver-gray in full sun due to UV exposure, but this is a natural weathering process, not fading or damage. The wood remains structurally sound and weather-resistant.

How many people does this seat when extended?

It seats 8 guests at 86.25 inches and 10 comfortably when extended to 110 inches, with the butterfly leaves stored beneath the table when not in use.

Does this outdoor dining table include free shipping?

Yes, LOOMLAN Outdoor provides free curbside delivery to the continental USA with no minimum order required.
