Kingsley Bate is America’s leading manufacturer of teak outdoor furniture. Using only premium quality teak and precise joinery techniques in the construction of its furniture, Kingsley Bate sets high standards for quality, value and design innovation.
Kingsley Bate also leads the way in the responsible manufacture of its furniture. Preservation of the Earth’s ecological system is a major concern. Reckless deforestation of the Amazon Basin and other rainforests has caused the public to be suspicious of companies in the teak industry.
Kingsley Bate is the first American company to use Javanese teak in its furniture. In 1983, Kingsley Bate, working with the Indonesian government and its people, developed a teak furniture program in Java. Since then, Indonesia and Kingsley Bate have shown that such a program can be implemented without hurting the country’s natural resources.
Their teak is harvested from carefully controlled plantations, established in Indonesia by the Dutch in the mid-19th century. The Indonesian government allows the felling of a limited number of trees each year and also ensures an equal amount of reforestation takes place.
Due to the increasing demand for this beautiful hardwood, Kingsley Bate now uses a limited amount of Burmese teak in its productions. Whether Javanese or Burmese, the teak used is only the finest quality.
Although the line began with simple window boxes, it quickly grew to include:
- bench and armchair styles
- dining tables and chairs
- lounge and resort furniture
- rocking chairs
- planters
- market umbrellas
- all-weather wicker and more.
