While weathering and color variation over time is natural for outdoor wood furniture, we recommend the following care for best results: Store wood furniture indoors out of season. Make sure furniture is completely dry before storage. Cover wood furniture with outdoor covers (sold separately) when left outside during inclement weather or when not in use. Store cushions separately from furniture to prevent possible transfer of moisture. Wipe spills with a clean dry cloth. Avoid the use of harsh cleaners and abrasives.

You may then apply any deck stain in the color of your choice. Note that two coats are required to achieve your desired color. For best results, follow surface preparation and application instructions provided on staining product.
