I hope you'll check where the teak comes from (FSC logo is a good enough
recommendation).

They don't seem to mention it, which might mean that their teak is
obtained by clear-felling rain forests. In the process most of the
wildlife is destroyed, the unusable small branches burned (adding to
global warming) and the earth left in a state where it produces a few
good crops - then washes out to sea,leaving a wet desert useless for
anything, neither the environment nor the local residents.
