Our Philosophy
Uncommon From the Very Beginning.
The ancient roots of the teak tree are among nature's most extraordinary raw materials — dense, complex, and alive with character that no other wood can replicate. Each root system is entirely unique, shaped by decades of growth deep in the soil of Indonesian government plantations.
For over 20 years, our family has worked with master Indonesian craftsmen to reveal what was always there — furniture that stops people in their tracks, pieces that belong in galleries as much as living rooms.

"Dad Built It. We Discovered the Diamond Inside."
Ron Sherman
Dad · In his element · Indonesia
Ron Sherman — Alan's father — was a mover and a shaker. He built several highly successful furniture stores in Florida and did contract work for resorts, timeshares, and hotels across the country and around the world. For over two decades he sourced and created furniture across Indonesia, employing hundreds of craftsmen. Among the pieces he made, he began sending Alan and Sharalee things made from teak — and that was the spark.
Alan and Sharalee looked at what Ron was sending and saw something: what if it was just this? Not the bedroom sets, not the full room collections — just the teak. They asked Ron if he would oversee that vision. He agreed, and moved to Central Java specifically because that's where the teak plantations were, and that's where he could begin to create what they had imagined.
In 2005, with no guarantee it would work, just the two of them, Alan and Sharalee made their decision — only teak, only the ancient roots and stumps that held a beauty and rarity unlike anything in furniture. They pioneered it from the ground up, traveling to shows across America, watching the same thing happen every time: someone walks past, stops, reaches out to touch the wood, and says — "I've never seen anything like this."
It worked.

Why We Do This
We Didn't Start TEAK22 To Sell Furniture.
In a season of seeking God — genuinely asking Him what we were supposed to do and how we were supposed to do it — Sharalee heard these words clearly:
"Everything you need, to do everything I've called you to do, you already have."
What we had was teak. Extraordinary, one-of-a-kind teak root furniture—precious wooden diamonds that people made U-turns to see what it was on an Alabama highway.
So that's what we do. We sell something we believe in completely—and the proceeds fund the things we're called to do.
Two orphanages—one in Bangladesh, one in Western Uganda, Christian marriage and family counseling, "The Red Couch Live" on Facebook, and "Yes I Will Pray"—a 24/7 international internet prayer cafe where people around the world pray for one another every single day.
"We didn't ask anyone to fund it. We didn't pass a plate. We just picked up what we already had."
"We never have customers. We always have friends."
When you bring a TEAK22 piece into your home, you're part of something bigger than furniture.
Before You Ask — We've Got You Covered
Caring for Your Wooden Diamond.
The most common question we're asked, "How do I care for it."
Here's the simple truth.
Nothing more than your love.
Your TEAK22 piece indoors needs nothing more than your love and an occasional damp cloth or the brush attachment of your vacuum. No special products. No treatments. No worry.
If it's a dining table, there is no need for coasters or placemats. You will never get a water ring on teak. Simply wipe clean with a damp cloth.
"It will look as beautiful ten years from now as the day it arrived."
One thing to know.
Teak is one of nature's most durable woods and thrives outdoors. The only thing to be aware of is direct sunlight over time — teak left in direct sun will eventually develop a silver patina.
This does not affect the integrity, strength, or character of the wood in any way. It is simply a change in color.
"If you love the silver — leave it.
It's nature doing what nature does."
"If you prefer the original warmth — apply teak oil, and it will look exactly as it did the day you brought it home."
Any teak left in direct sunlight will develop a silver patina over time. This is not damage. This is character.
TEAK22 furniture is not made to be repaired or replaced. Every piece is an heirloom. It belongs wherever extraordinary design lives—indoors or out, in a grand foyer, a living room, a master suite, a luxury bath, or a lakeside terrace.
