My teak tables and chairs look fine after 10 years. Gray, as teak gets. I do cover them around Nov and uncover around Apr up here in rainland, but they still get rained on Sep-Oct and May-June which is plenty of rain, and they get sun for the whole week of summer. In Berkeley, I left them out year-round. I've never oiled them. Every couple of years I pressure wash them (gently).
