Title: A good value, alternative to teak
Review: We purchased 4 chairs, 3 ottomans,and a corner piece. Was fairly easy to put together.Based on customer reviews,we decided to lightly sand all items and applied 3 coats of teak oil (sanding between coats) prior to use. This improved the texture and smoothness of the wood. In addition, we attached 1.5" sides on the bottom of the legs to keep wood dry and prevent chipping when moving furniture around.We also treated cushions with upholstery protector and a mildew retardant. I haven't even put the cushions on the furniture yet, I can't see them looking good after sitting on them. The cushions are a ridiculously light color, and we intend to choose a more suitable fabric and make our own removable covers. Not sure if I would even try to remove the current covers and launder, even though they are zippered and removable.
Is the review positive or negative?
