Around here the ‘teak’ furniture seems to be commanding top dollar, thanks to craigslist and some active local stores that specialize in it and do a fair bit of advertising. Even the thrift shops have gotten into the act. Most of the stuff I’ve seen is veneer ... occasionally with solid teak edges.
You still find the occasional piece that is reasonable and I suppose the garage sale / estate sale route is still a source. Luckily I have a small stash of actual solid teak from a couple old couches my inlaws had.

I've been searching the local classifieds for a piece of furniture for my sister and I keep noticing "teak" furniture. Some of it is really cheap, today I found a rather large solid looking shelf/cabinet thing that's going free... "teak". I'm probably just dreaming that these people have actual solid teak furniture, right? Is old "teak" furniture a good source for teak? Or is the word "teak" when discussing furniture just another word for veneer?
