As with all outdoor furniture, you should expect normal wear and tear if our products are left in the elements.  We recommend covering your items when left outdoors or storing them indoors during periods of extended non use.  If left outdoors for an extended period of time our furniture can be refurbished to look like new by lightly sanding and applying a  fresh coat of varnish.  We recommend using a low VOC marine grade varnish to refurbish our furniture.
