What is iroko wood?

We can imagine that you’ve never heard of iroko. Or maybe you've seen this term somewhere, but you’re still scratching your head as to what it means exactly. Well, iroko is a hardwood species that originates from the African tropics. This wood is stable and durable, as it lasts a relatively long time. And that’s precisely why iroko is suitable for the making of garden furniture! Please note: iroko wood will discolour slightly over time. This is a property of the wood, meaning the discolouration is unavoidable.
