At Teak Warehouse, every piece of furniture tells a story of craftsmanship, heritage, and enduring strength. But the story truly begins with our Owner and CEO, Chris Putrimas.

Chris's journey with teak began over 20 years ago, not in a showroom, but on the water. Originally from Connecticut, he built a thriving boat maintenance business and went on to launch Dr. Teak, a premier teak refinishing company renowned for restoring beauty to even the most weathered wood. In this world of salt, sun, and craftsmanship, he mastered the art of teak care.

In 2021, Chris took the helm at Teak Warehouse. With a deep respect for timeless materials and a clear vision for the future, he transformed the company into a more refined and innovative brand. Under his leadership, we've streamlined operations, curated a focused product line, launched a custom fabric collection, and rebuilt our website to provide a seamless customer experience from start to finish.

Having visited Indonesia's sustainable teak plantations firsthand, he is committed to promoting responsibly sourced materials that stand the test of time. His hands-on experience, from boat decks to warehouse floors, continues to shape everything we do.
