Lurker turned member here. Thank you in advance for any help you can give me. I hope the picture links work:)
I picked up this teak end table recently and, despite a few hundred Google searches, I can't find any information on it. There is a really faint stamp on the underside that appears to read "DECA" and I can kind of make out the word "Montreal" as well. Sorry about the poor image quality of the stamp, but like I said, it's really faint. The shelf underneath is made up of 13 slats.
Again, thank you for your help. Have a great day!

Looks like a Tove Kindt-Larsen table but usually it's made by France & Søn, maybe the stamp is from the retailer.

I am pretty sure I see edge...
I am pretty sure I see edge banding along the un-lipped edge of the table, meaning the top is veneered instead of solid teak. Aside from that it looks exactly like a Tove & Edvard Kindt-Larsen per Onno's suggestion.
Here is a specimen Tove og Edvard, note the end grain you can see on that edge.

Leif, seems your are right, furthermore the Kindt-Larsen table has only 12 bars.
Seems to be inspired by.
I wonder if the lower shelf space is also concavely constructed.

More Pictures and Thank Yous
Leif and Onno, Thank you for such a quick response. Here are a couple more pictures. Leif, you were right, there is a band on the un-lipped edge. I've also included a picture of the somewhat matching coffee table I picked up at the same time. Sadly, it also has the banded ends. I think they still look great in my basement, I just wish I hadn't paid "solid" teak prices 🙂 Oh well, I'm still learning.
Thanks again for all the help.

Don't worry, it's not necessarily a character of low quality if the surface is veneered and not solid, most high-end tables are veneered.
Generally you reach to a more esthetical result by using veneer, because the sheets of veneer can be wider than solid wood boards, for constructional reasons.
Anyway, your table looks fine.
