A home office upgrade that sets the standard—naturally with teak wood from Betterwood. In the latest episode of “Abenteuer Leben” on Kabel Eins, it was time to get hands-on again: the well-known YouTuber Clemens, the carpenter faced the challenge of building a stylish, functional secretary desk. The impressive result was made entirely from our high-quality teak boards in 50 mm width.
Premium design at DIY-store prices: Teak beats Douglas fir
A highlight of the TV segment was the direct price comparison, which likely surprised many viewers: Our high-quality, sustainable teak is actually cheaper to buy than conventional Douglas fir from the DIY store. In the video, Clemens clearly shows that you don’t have to pay more for exclusive solid wood than for standard construction timber—while getting significantly better durability and looks.
Smart home office: Functionality down to the last detail
The TV show “Abenteuer Leben” shows this time how to create a complex piece of furniture from simple boards. The secretary desk impresses with an integrated cabinet element featuring a special highlight: a pull-out worktop for a laptop. This way, at the end of the day the office disappears in no time behind elegant teak wood—the perfect solution for modern living and working.
Sustainability that pays off
We’re delighted that Clemens once again showed how versatile our teak boards are. Whether on the balcony or as a fine piece of furniture in the living room: Our teak from responsible forestry proves that sustainable luxury, craftsmanship, and an unbeatable price don’t have to be mutually exclusive.
