Why do small cracks occur in the wood?
Teakwood is a natural cellular material. It absorbs small amounts of moisture when exposed to rainfall and loses it when the environment is hot and dry. This causes expansion and contraction and can cause small cracks to appear at the surface of the wood. These fine cracks are a normal weathering effect and have no effect on the serviceability or longevity of the furniture. They will soon blend into the surrounding surface.
