Teak Wooden Furniture in Jakarta

Indonesia's tropical climate is highly suitable for teak tree plantations and there are many teak producers and sellers in Indonesia, particularly in Java.

Tips for buying (teak) furniture in Jakarta:

- Small local furniture shops at Jalan Ciputat Raya in Tangerang (ca. 25 km west of Jakarta).

Jalan Pahlawan Revolusi: many furniture vendors and manufacturers. Also for repairment and custom-made furniture.

- Plaza Mebel, Jalan Fatmawati (Kav 5., Cipete Utara Kebayoran Baru, Jakarta Selatan):


Toko Bagus - Furniture (people/small shops selling new and second hand furniture)

- Kaskus, The Largest Indonesian Community - Furniture (people/small shops selling new and second hand furniture)

Footnote: Teak consumption raises a number of environmental concerns, such as the disappearance of rare old-growth teak. You can read more about the environmental issues here.
