White Glove Delivery service is available for customers that wish to have the furniture arrive assembled, ready to use and the boxes and packing material removed. This service is available for an additional fee and may delay your order by 2-3 weeks, with exception to deliveries in the Washington / Baltimore metropolitan areas.

- From where is my furniture being shipped?
The Country Casual distribution facility (and showroom) is located in Gaithersburg, Maryland.
- What’s the first thing I should do when I receive my furniture?
The first thing you should do is review the packing slip, inspect the boxes, and note any damage prior to signing the delivery slip. When the delivery slip is signed, it should follow with “subject to inspection” in the event there is hidden damage that is not discovered until after the driver leaves. Boxes should be opened and inspected within 7 days of delivery, but you should notify Country Casual immediately if your boxes arrive damaged.
Before you begin assembly read all instructions and verify you have all pieces and necessary hardware.
Once assembled, wipe the furniture off with a damp cloth to remove the fine teak particles that may adhere to clothing. All Country Casual furniture is hand sanded and wiped clean, but some of the particles may remain.

- Can I use teak furniture indoors?
Yes! Country Casual teak furniture can be used indoors at your choosing. Teak is a great choice for use in showers, bathrooms or sunrooms, or even kitchens and entryways.Please note that our furniture arrives unfinished. See indoor applications here.
- How do I care for my teak?
Teak is maintenance free. If left outdoors and untreated, the elements will turn the teak from golden blond to an even, warm, silvery gray over time. We recommend that you do not treat the wood, however should you prefer another look, Country Casual offers a complete line of environmentally friendly care products that will help you achieve the look you prefer.
For deep cleaning of older teak, call and speak with a knowledgeable furniture specialist about our two-step deep cleaner.
- What if I want to paint or stain my teak furniture?
We discourage painting teak. Because of its high oil content, paint does not adhere well to the teak surface and may cause peeling and scaring of the wood. Consult a wood paint specialist before painting teak furniture.
While we do not recommend staining teak, there are hardwood stains that may achieve your desired effect. Consult a wood paint specialist and request teak samples from us so that you may test your stain before applying it to your furniture. Order a teak swatch.
- If I use a teak sealer once, can I wash it off later?
Yes, you can remove the teak sealer using our one-step Teak Cleaner, or simply let it wear off. Please note that the sealer will wear off unevenly over time. Cleaned teak will have a light blond color until it grays naturally.

We discourage pressure or power washing teak. High pressure washing may strip away some of the wood’s natural protective oils and can cause it to shred, develop surface pits, and ultimately age it prematurely. Click here for more information about caring for teak.
