They are adding beauty to many dwellings, but where are homeowners buying their teak wood doors? Importing doors, made of this particular wood, is expensive. Even ordering online, from U.S. companies that carry teak products, results in high shipping costs. Are individuals paying the high import fees and shipping costs, or are there retailers that homeowners are visiting locally to make their purchases? When I see a home that has a teak front door, I wonder if the homeowner is wealthy…  or if they simply possess information about the location of teak retailers that I have not yet come to acquire.
