Caring for wooden furnitureAs a natural product, wood requires special care to keep it in good condition and extend the life of the product.Pressure Treatment - If your product is treated, it is recommended to apply a cut end preserver if you cut, notch or drill the timber in any areas. This will ensure the treatment remains effective.Wood Preservation - We recommend that you apply a wood preservative to unpainted wood every year to maintain the finish of your furniture and ensure it lasts longer. This can be neutral or stained.Weatherproofing - A wax or oil-based weatherproofing finish will also provide stabilisation against shrinking and welling of the wood as moisture-levels vary and so is recommended to protect against extreme weather.Covering your furniture - If you are not going to be using your furniture for a period of time, we suggest using a cover to keep it protected from the elements.Painting your furniture - Painted furniture will need repainting every 12-24 months, depending on location and conditions. We suggest sanding down before painting to ensure a good finish.

We were horrified at the quality of the product. There was a small area of damage on the top of the side frame where something had obviously pushed against it and there was some fading on the paintwork. We were vert surprised to see that the staple holes had not been filled in prior to painting and so were very obvious as were the screw holes where the cup holders were.There was a piece of split wood on the side which we have glued back. We put together the arbour for our friend who is 86 and felt rather than put her through the ordeal of sending it back we would put right the damage to save her any unnecessary trouble. As we had recommended the company and ordered it for her on the website we felt responsible for the inferior goods which were not cheap. She was so excited about her arbour which she was looking forward to in the sun in the back garden. A great disappointment. Jen Tomkinson
