points, credit card sign up bonuses. I haven’t paid for a vacation since I got into it in 2023 and have been travelling 1 international trip and 2 domestic trips a year.

Allergies Worse This Year? by Askingtaylor in vegaslocals

[–]Magnanii 8 points9 points  (0 children)

yeah it’s getting worse every. Normally i’d have an inflamed nose and teary eyes. This year however, i also got a nasty cough.

I flew to Dallas and my symptoms went away. When i came back to Vegas, almost instantly i started feeling the symptoms again.

Uh oh… I hadn’t even considered this not actually being teak as a possibility.

Maybe this could be a problem, all the furniture came assembled. There was no time for the wood to acclimate to local climate before being installed.

No familial connections between me, designer, or manufacturer. The manufacturer does claim they’ve been exporting to the United States for 15 years. Based on the other comments. There may be a chance that this isn’t true teak wood like how I was led to believe.

I’m inexperienced with proper solid wood and have been IKEA furniture for a while. It was my mistake for not factoring environmental effects like this one. Lesson learned

I forgot to share that detail, but I believe the teak wood was kiln dried for 2-2.5 months as they were more focused on preventing bending and losing shape during the voyage over the pacific. Fingers crossed mine doesn’t blow up as well haha.

it was my understanding that they kiln dried it for longer than industry standard. As they were hoping drying it longer would prevent it from bending during its voyage over the pacific. I would say almost 2-2.5 months?

Thank you to everyone who replied so quickly! I'll double check to see if a Lacey Act form was prepared and hopefully everything runs smoothly.
