Does your product require assembly?
Some simple assembly is required. Our products are shipped in boxes unassembled (knocked down or KD) to save our customers on shipping charges. All bolts and nuts are stainless steel and are included in the boxes along with detailed instructions.
How do I maintain the product?
Maintaining our products is easy. Periodically (every 6 months or as needed) use warm water and a mild liquid detergent to wash the surface. Then hose it off. After the furniture is dry, apply a liquid spray car wax (available at any auto parts store). Do not use chemical cleaners such as Windex or 409.
How long will the product last?
Our products are powder coated. Powder coating is a "state of art" technique and the premier coating for outdoor metal furniture. All products go through industrial ovens for a baked on finish. This process allows the finish to last for many years to come, depending on how it is maintained (refer to maintenance question, below). Due to the durability and rust free features of solid cast aluminum, the product will last almost forever.
Is your furniture comfortable?
Because of the precise engineering and contour designs of our products, people are very surprised to find our cast aluminum metal furniture is very comfortable, even without cushions.
Is your furniture too light weight?
Cast Aluminum is relatively light weight when compared to wrought iron. Traditional iron is not only too heavy to be moved around easily, but will rust. Tubular aluminum furniture is lighter in weight and not as sturdy as solid aluminum, therefore less expensive. Since, our furniture is made of solid aluminum (not tubular), it is strong and sturdy and can withstand strong winds.
What are the features of Cast Aluminum?
All of our aluminum patio furniture is made of solid cast aluminum. Aluminum is relatively light weight for easy moving yet still heavy enough to stand in the wind. Cast aluminum will never rust and is practically maintenance free. It is easily casted into variety of shapes and styles from very ornate to very simple. These are the very reasons why cast aluminum is one of the most popular material for outdoor furniture.
What is Checking?
All wood, used in outdoor projects, is subject to the natural process of "checking". As the wood ages, tension develops in the wood due to shrinkage and the wood splits to relieve tension. These splits or cracks are known as "checks". . The checks will not go deeper than the heart and consequently do not affect the structural performance or integrity of the wood. In fact, we believe these characteristics only add to the natural beauty of your wood project.
What is the color “Verde”?
“Verde” is a two tone color with black background and a green over coat. Verde is an extremely popular color for outdoor furniture and accessories.
