Find out what kind of wood it is, & you could get a better answer to your question.
Teak oil is kind of a light coating for an oily wood like teak, similar to Australian Timber oil, they both work great for what they were designed for, & like Thompson’s if you’re leaving the furniture out in the elements as opposed to beneath a covered porch mostly out of the sun you should think of it as a kind of yearly maintainence chore, to be done at the beginning/end of the season.
Even a semi-transparent stain’s not a bad way to go for most wood, just don’t put anything on them that’ll leave enough of a film to require scraping/sanding off to re-do when the time comes, as that increases your job time by a factor of anywhere from 2-4.
Cuprinol clear
It would be good if give it a coat of linseed oil let the wood absorb as much oil as it can then a day after wipe the wooden object with a clean cotton rag then apply a coat of clear varnish if the furniture is in a lot of sunlight it is advisable to buy the varnish with UV filter for protection
