Features:

• Dimensions: 26"W x 26" D x 30"H
  35 lbs
• Environmentally conscious 'green' manufacturing processes:
  
  • Sustainably harvested wood from responsibly managed local woodlots
  • Local sourcing of wood reduces carbon footprint from transportation.
  • The cedar is cut from forests in Canada. The largest trees are targeted as they have the most pulp and they convert the least amount of Co2 to oxygen. Clearing of old growth allows for younger growth to flourish and convert more carbon dioxide. The forest are never clear cut and cedar is plentiful throughout Canada.
  • The entire tree is used - limbs and cuttings are turned into different cedar products, such as mulch, oils, and cedar chips. The trunk is used for fencing components and shingles and the smaller pieces are used to make our furniture and garden accents; scraps are used for cedar chips, mulch, and shavings.
    
  • No chemical treatments, preventing harsh chemicals from leeching into the ground and water supplies. Stains are not used or needed; left untreated, cedar turns a pleasing silver-gray with exposure to sunlight.
  • Wood biodegrades - At the end of its long and useful life, cedar furniture won’t occupy any landfill space. Wood breaks down very quickly in landfills, less than 25 years. Plastics can take up to a millennium to decompose.
• Unfinished cedar will provide many years of service outdoors - no finish is required.
• Cedar is an excellent thermal insulator - that means that even on the hottest days, it is cool to touch and sit on.
• Our cedar is natural and untreated (why is this important?)
• 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, reddish tan to creamy white. The color changes evenly over time to a silver gray.  Water-based or oil stains will delay the weathering process. Latex paint coats evenly and lets wood breathe.
• Some assembly required
• Develops a weathered, silver grey patina in one year for most climates.
• 5 year manufacturer's warranty.
• Free shipping via UPS Ground to the continental US!

Here are just a few reasons why you'll love our cedar garden accents and furniture built by the great folks at Rustic Natural Cedar:

Quality - Almost 40 years of experience under the same family ownership means that these folks really know their stuff! Smooth, untreated surfaces, well fitting joints and solid construction are just a few of the things you'll notice right away. As the years go by, you'll be impressed by how well it holds up to your family's use and the weather.

A commitment to the planet - Rustic Natural Cedar is committed to ecological sustainability and providing a durable, natural, product that is ecologically sound. Finding quality indoor and outdoor furniture that has a low environmental impact is simple with Rustic Natural Cedar Furniture Company and Tick-n-Thistle. We've done all of the work so that you don't have to.

Reduced pollution - Rustic Natural Cedar Furniture Company and Tick-n-Thistle reduces the carbon footprint and pollution by strategic placement of facilities. The mill is in Quebec, Canada, in the type of climate that cedar flourishes. The sole distribution center is in Rhode Island, USA. The forests are very close to the mill and the distribution center is only 6 hours away. From the warehouse, we ship directly to the end user, reducing the number of times that the order is shipped. This logistics system minimizes the number of times that a product is transported, therefore reducing the carbon output.

Quality furniture lasts - Unlike plastic, bamboo, or some metal furniture and garden accents, cedar planters, arbors, garden accents and furniture are durable and will last many years. Our solid construction holds up in any climate, year round. You won't find yourself replacing every other year. Rustic Cedar's devotion to quality saves you money and prevents more energy and landfill space from being used.

Made from unfinished cedar, it will weather to a silvery gray in 6 to 12 months, and last for 15 to 25 years outdoors in its natural state. If you like, you can keep the new milled look by applying a clear wood preserver, or alter the look by applying a darker stain. Stains and preservers will extend the life of your furniture even further - plan on re-applying every 1 to 2 years.

Cedar is an excellent thermal insulator - that means that even on the hottest days, it is cool to touch and sit on.
Minimal exposed hardware on surfaces that you are likely to touch - seat, back and arms - maximizes your comfort!

Please note that over time as it continues to dry and cure, cedar normally will "check", which means it will develop slight cracks along the length of the logs.
Checking is a natural process that occurs as the cedar logs release moisture across or through the annual growth rings. It is usually most noticeable on edges and drilled holes, where there is more exposed surface area and drying. Checking adds uniqueness and character to the wood of a natural product. It does not affect the strength of the furniture, nor does it affect the structural performance or integrity of the wood, and is not considered a defect.
