Maybe teak, but that chair looks like oak, among the strongest of hardwoods.
IF its teak, its also a a very strong hardwood , used for outdoor furniture , boats + ships
YOU ever worked with hardwoods?? I had to use an electric drill[+ nail spinner] to make my oak book case ''
Its hard
Should be ok unless he has a pet beaver.%%
WHEN we were kids, my banker dad made us pick up oak, hickory sticks;
not as punishment, we cooked out steak or hamburgers
I dont do much woodwork , but did buy some cypress from a sawmill + let it air dry for 6 months.
Made a walnut gun rack + pistol cabinet in school shop.
My grand dad was about the only family member to buy charcoal in a store

The wood is strong.
So far, I don't have good experience with the metal parts;
The bushings, pistons ... could give way easily.
https://www.lanobadesign.com/ for cool midcentury furniture.
Middle of which century?
The middle of the twentieth century?
Meaning they sell furniture that was made around 1950?
I took a quick look at their website. And the furniture is very cool. And they use the term midcentury.
But I'm guess I'm just naive. I can't be sure whether they are referring to the 19th century or the 20th century.
The furniture looks relatively modern LOL so I guess it's mid-twentieth century.
Makes me feel f**kin old
I was born in 1968 LOL
No, I did not. My maternal grandfather served in World War II, and also during the Korean conflict.
Way too modern for me
