3、 Teak floor how to distinguish?
1. Look at the lines
The real teak floor has obvious sketch lines and oil stains, while the fake teak floor has no sketch lines or the sketch lines are shallow and scattered.

The real teak floor feels smooth and delicate. It seems to have been soaked by oil, while the fake teak floor is not smooth.
3. Smell
The real teak floor releases a unique aroma. If the red teak has a large amount or even all of the exhibition halls are red teak, you can smell this kind of aroma after you walk in. The aroma is very comfortable. The fake teak floor should have aroma or pungent taste;
