The geometric layout of the teak planked top mirrors the aluminum base, separated in three sections, with an umbrella pass-thru in the center. The indigenous color of teak is light brown. With age, the patina turns to an elegant silver tone. The custom dark graphite finish in South Beach is designed to blend with either color tone beautifully. If you choose to oil the teak, it will retain its original color. If you prefer for it to age naturally, the silver tone offers an extremely sophisticated look.
