when searching for Poplar patio furniture, use the guideline below when checking the constryuction of the furniture. High quality products are fastened using screws, carriage bolts, tongue and grove or mortise and tenon joints for strength and durability. High quality furniture will outlast all commercial, mass produced patio furniture that is simply stapled and glued. The stapled and glued joints are not nearly as strong as our mortise/tenon or bolted joints and will break over time.
We also use zinc plated, stainless steel or treated hardware that will not rust and last the life of the furniture.
All of our furniture has a light oil based finish that shows the beauty of our wood. Please see our care of products page for more details on finishing and maintaining your furniture.
All of our wood that we use is either air dried or kiln dried to prevent warpage and other deformations of te wood due to moisture.
We only use Poplar that is grown on plantations and tree farms. This strategy will ensure that there is enough Poplar for future generations. It is important that we preserve our forrest from over harvesting by only using renewable plantation grown trees.
