• Durable, easy-to-clean Studio Teak finish. Studio Teak is more than a color—it’s a durable surface designed to withstand daily use in demanding environments. The HPL construction resists scratches, scuffs, and spills, making it easy to wipe down between sessions.

Its warmth and character also complement contemporary AV setups, giving your space a cohesive, high‑end feel.
