Designed and tested to give the best possible seating position, fitting to the natural contours of your spine to fully support whilst you relax.Caring for Wooden FurnitureAs a natural product, wood requires special care to keep it in good condition and extend the life of the product.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.We recommend that you apply a wood preservative every year to maintain the finish of your furniture and ensure it lasts longer.A wax or oil-based weatherproofing finish will also provide stability against shrinking and welling of the wood as moisture-levels vary and so is recommended to protect against extreme weather.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.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.

The cottage arbour is made from good quality wood, nice and sturdy with a great paint finish. The instructions to build it was easy to follow and built in no time. It was good to also be given small pots of paint to do any touch ups if/when required.

Arbour excellent really pleased, the colour is perfect and great that you small pots to touch up although we had no need as the arbour was perfect. We watched the video on the website on how to erect which was very helpful when erecting the arbour.

This arbour was easy to assemble although you do need two pairs of hands as the instructions say. Its lovely and comfortable as the seats are curved , unlike many other arbours we tried. great colour combo too. Really happy with my purchase. Hubby made me a little table to go with it. Just needs some grey paint now.
