The wood used in our mango furniture and decor originates from Thailand, where mango trees grow abundantly and quickly, as compared to other hardwoods. It's an environmentally friendly material that's relatively soft, so our artisans are able to carve out beautiful, organic shapes and textures. Mango wood will last a long time with a proper finish, as all of our products do. We only recommend keeping these pieces indoors, where you can better admire their intricate grain and where they'll be safe from sun damage and excess moisture.
