Cedar for furniture is chosen because of its resiliency, durability and natural resistance to decay and insects. It is perfect for lodge decor, or a rustic design to any room. Cedar has exceptionally high strength to weight ratio, which makes it light weight and easier to move with durability. There are no preservatives or chemicals in our furniture to harm your family's health because it is natural all wood furniture. Rustic Natural Cedar Furniture can be left to age naturally, or it can be stained or can be painted. They are superbly sanded to a fine finish and easy assembly instructions use regular household tools. The company recommends a deep penetrating stain that has a protecting barrier to keep the wood looking natural and it must soak deep into the wood without peeling and blistering like some surface finishes do. It is a plus for mildew inhibitors and water repellency added to the stain. Rustic Cedar uses both Western Red Cedar for outdoor furniture and white cedar for indoors, but both left natural to age outdoors eventually turns it to a soft silvery weathered gray. A 20% bleach solution with water will restore white cedar to its natural beauty. All cedar and full log furniture goes through a normal process of checking or a slight crack through the outer growth rings. This naturally happens when wood contracts and expands to release moisture. What is important to know is that this process doesn't affect the integrity of the wood and only adds character with rustic charm.
