Questions and answers

What is Walking Teak Gorilla made of?

Walking Teak Gorilla is hand-carved from a single block of solid teak (Tectona grandis) by master craftsmen on Java, Indonesia. The wood is air-dried to about 12% moisture before carving so the finished piece stays dimensionally stable in a European interior. No glue, no veneer, no inlay — one tree, one sculpture.

How much does Walking Teak Gorilla weigh and how is it delivered?

Walking Teak Gorilla weighs approximately 60 kg. We deliver by specialised furniture courier across the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, France and Luxembourg, with two-person handling and indoor placement on request. Larger pieces (over 100 kg) ship on a wooden pallet with strapping; we collect the pallet on the same visit.

Can Walking Teak Gorilla be placed outdoors in a garden?

Yes. Teak's natural oil content makes it one of the few woods that thrives outdoors without preservatives. Left untreated outside it will silver to a soft grey patina over 6-12 months. If you prefer to keep the warm honey colour, oil it twice a year with a clear teak oil. Bring it under a covered terrace during the worst of winter only if you want to preserve a fresh-from-the-atelier finish.

What is the lead time for Walking Teak Gorilla?

Walking Teak Gorilla is one-of-a-kind and currently in our Hengelo showroom (or in-transit from Java). Lead time after order confirmation is typically 2-4 weeks for delivery within the Netherlands, 3-5 weeks for the rest of the EU.
