Commonly referred to as African Teak, Iroko is a durable and visually striking hardwood that offers a similar look and performance to true Burmese Teak — but at a more accessible price point. With its warm golden-brown tones and interlocked grain, African Teak is prized for both its strength and natural resistance to moisture and decay. Its broad availability in large slabs makes it a great choice for dining tables, countertops, and indoor-outdoor applications.
