Care & Maintenance
Instructions
Congratulations on your purchase of finely crafted hardwood furniture! This furniture will last for many years if you
follow these simple guidelines, and understand ahead of time how you wish it to look, as it will weather uniquely to
your conditions and settings over a period of time.
All of our products are made of solid wood for beauty and durability, and are designed to enhance your garden and
outdoor living space. While our products can certainly be used indoors, they are made of a hard wood that is known
to last outdoors through many seasons. You may want adjust the care and maintenance of your furniture depending
on how you want it to look. Wood generally, is a natural material whose appearance and qualities will change over
time when left outdoors and untreated. It is normal for wood furniture to develop slight checking and a raised grain
after prolonged exposure to the elements if the furniture has not been sealed or regularly maintained. In order to
simplify care & maintenance we also suggest that you store or cover your furniture during winter conditions.
Silver Gray Finish
If left untreated your furniture will change naturally to a silver-grayish tone, dependent upon your environmental
conditions. To keep it weathering as evenly as possible, it is recommended that you clean your furniture regularly
throughout the seasons. A light sanding will remove rough spots or a raised grain that appear over time.
Original Finish
Your furniture has been hand rubbed with a special blend of Teak Oil prior to packing. This deepens the original color
of this beautiful wood, and also works to preserve and protect the surface during shipping and storage. If you would
like to maintain this original finish, please follow these guidelines:
Clean your furniture before re-treating with Teak Oil. Remove sap or resin with a scraper, sharp knife or razor
•
blade. Remove any residue with mineral spirits. Use a stiff brush and warm soapy water in the direction of the
grain.
