Not only is this beautiful furniture built in North America, the cedar is locally grown and sustainably harvested here too! 

Features of Our Cedar Garden Furniture

• Earth friendly, 'green' manufacturing processes using only sustainably harvested wood.
• Local sourcing of wood reduces carbon footprint from transportation.
• Left unfinished, cedar will typically provide 15 to 25 years of use outdoors.
• Our cedar, natural and untreated (why is this important?), is grown in moist swampy New England woodlands.
• Cedar absorbs and loses moisture slowly, which minimizes the dry cracking, splintering and swelling more characteristic of oak or pine.
• Cedar has the US Forest Products Laboratory's highest rating for decay and disease resistance.
• Fresh cedar odor is a mild insect repellent.
• Our cedar products are shipped in their natural color, pale tan or light gold.  The color changes evenly over time to a silver gray.  Water-based or oil stains will delay the weathering process while preserving the natural wood grain.  If you choose to paint, use a latex paint which will coat evenly and let wood breathe.
• Superb craftsmanship.
• Furniture includes all necessary hardware.
• Assembly required
• Develops a weathered, silver grey patina in one year for most climates.
• Ships direct from the manufacturer in Rhode Island or Maine
• Free shipping to the continental US!
