I have been a connoisseur of exclusively wood furniture my entire life (even my "sofa" is a teak bench sporting pillow cushions tied to the bracing). As an amateur carpenter, to save money I often buy antiquated yet stylish furniture at estate sales that often require minor maintenance. Through my experience, I have discovered that no oil more effectively rejuvenates aged wood than that of the teak plant. If you have ever viewed an anti-aging cream advertisement, consider teak the wood furniture counterpart to Oil of Olay, only it produces more consistent results for its subjects than any facial moisturizer can for human skin.

Corroborating the other reviewers, after its application, your room will indeed "reek of teak"; however, this product should be graded on its effectiveness of furniture preservation, not odor. No matter the brand, teak oils are ubiquitously pungent, and one should be aware of what they are getting into before purchasing teak. Yes, the odor is strong, but unlike the synthetic fragrances found in other household cleaners and chemicals, teak is non-allergenic, most do not find the smell terribly irritating and actually pleasantly nutty and citrus-like, and it does not require frequent applications. If you find teak aromas are too overwhelming, then I suggest you make your own polish at home out of citrus and and olive oil, otherwise, buy this bottle and liberally apply it to all wood surfaces, both old and new.

The Williamsville teak oil is all I could ask for. The product is genuine, but has an odor for 2-3 days.

It does what it is supposed to do. I use it on a big table to keep it looking new.

Needed more oil to treat my beautiful teak dining set and hutch. Product works very good. If need more down the road will purchase some later.

If you are sensitive to fragrance,(i.e. have allergies) avoid this product. It has a very strong odor, something like pine scent. I oiled a small table in a bedroom. When I went in the room the next day the scent was still strong; and remained after I ran the room's ceiling fan on high for 8 hours.
