Teak vs. Melamine — A Different World of Quality
Melamine is a practical, affordable material for kitchens, wardrobes, and office furniture. It’s scratch-resistant, moisture-resistant, and easy to clean — ideal for functional, budget-friendly projects.
Teak, however, belongs to a class of its own. This premium hardwood, used by Monlabo Mauritius, is naturally strong, rich in oils, and highly durable, resisting rot, insects, and time itself. More than just wood, teak creates an atmosphere — its warm, elegant aroma and golden-brown grain infuse any space with calm, sophistication, and timeless beauty.
