I don't think there's any sturdier teak chair out there then the ones we received. There're no "moving parts" so we expect them to last for years. I do plan to use Semco and seal them since I prefer the honey tone versus letting them turn Patina grey.
Thank you for explaining that I first had to let the wax coat wear off and then clean them before using a sealer.
So will put this off for a couple of months and right now they still look as new.
