Often referred to as “African Teak,” Iroko is a durable and visually rich hardwood native to tropical Africa. It offers a similar golden-brown color and weather resistance as true teak (Tectona grandis), but at a more accessible price point. With interlocked grain and natural oils, African Teak is well-suited for indoor and outdoor use, especially in large slab applications like dining tables and countertops.
