4 Drawer Recycled Teak Chest of Drawers

Weathered teak brings a room a quieter kind of beauty, warm, practical and already rich with use. This recycled teak chest of drawers gives everyday storage a more grounded presence, with a slim upright shape for a bedroom, hallway or living room corner.

Weathered storage with a lived-in grain

• The front shows shifting honey, amber and darker wood tones, so the piece feels collected rather than newly polished.
• Silver-toned cup pulls sit neatly at the centre of each drawer, easy to catch with the fingers.
• The tall, narrow form works well where you want useful storage without a broad footprint.
• Rounded side edges and splayed wooden feet soften the straight lines, giving it a relaxed, handmade feel.
• Knots, marks and colour changes are part of the character, not something to hide.

Recycled teak, handmade in Bali

It is handmade in Bali using mostly upcycled teak wood from retired fishing boats. The natural rustic finish keeps the old colour shifts visible, from pale golden boards to deeper weathered streaks.

Because the timber has already had a life before becoming furniture, each chest will vary a little. Board tone, grain, knots and surface markings will not be identical from piece to piece.

Living with old teak

Use it for folded scarves, bedside pieces, hallway essentials or the small things that otherwise gather on surfaces. The drawer fronts have a simple, tactile feel, with cup-style pulls that suit the weathered timber.

Wipe with a soft dry cloth for everyday care. Keep the wood away from standing water and wipe spills promptly, as even resilient timber is best treated gently indoors.

A second life for boat timber

Teak has long been valued for furniture and boatbuilding because it is a dense, naturally resilient hardwood. Here, the story is not about making old furniture look antique, but about reuse: timber from retired Indonesian fishing boats is brought back into the home as practical storage. The remaining colour, wear and irregularity give the piece its quiet history, making each one feel personal without needing to be polished into uniformity.

A thoughtful housewarming gift

Common questions

Will mine look exactly like the photo?
No. Each piece is handmade from recycled teak, so colour, grain pattern, marks and rustic surface details will vary naturally.

Is it new furniture or an antique?
It is newly made furniture using reclaimed teak from retired fishing boats. The wood has age and character, but the chest itself is not described as antique.
