Arboria Idlewild Outdoor Wood Spontaniety Folding Armchair

22-Dec-08

Home Furniture

Spontaneity Folding Arm Chair 22 wide x 25 deep x 38 high Named for its ability to be moved easily from shade to sun, yard to lakeside, indoors to outdoors. This sturdy folding chair is comfortable and convenient. The Idlewild Collection of outdoor furniture is crafted of Kapur, a dense and highly durable hardwood with a warm, reddish-mahogany brown color. Kapur wood is ideal for outdoor furniture, rivaling Teak for strength and weather resistance. This collection is pre-finished with linseed oil enhanced with UV inhibitors and an agent to guard against mildew. It will provide many years of handsome service as it gracefully ages.

By Gina Funaro (Cupertino, CA USA):

The chairs are great. They came really fast. The only issues I have are that they are a bit heavy and I didn’t realize I was going to need to put linseed oil on them when I got them and then to keep the same color I’ll need to put a varnish on them. But they look really nice,they’ re comfortable, and easy to store and move. You’ll want to buy cushions for them to make them soft to sit on.

Strathwood Bradford Hardwood Armless Bar Chair

20-Dec-08

Home Furniture

Entertain family and guests outdoors year round with Strathwood’s set of two all-weather kapur hardwood bar chairs. Designed for outdoor use in all weather, the chairs’ ribbed design gives them beauty and function. Slats are close enough together to provide an even seating surface, and far enough apart to allow rain water to fall through so the chairs can aerate. A matching bar table is available separately in Strathwood’s coordinating Bradford hardwood collection. Pair the pieces in the Bradford collection with the kapur hardwood pieces in the Anderson bar collection or the Gibranta collection for a fully accessorized outdoor set. Sized to fit most any porch, patio, deck, or balcony, (or indoor rec room) each chair measures 21 inches deep by 20 inches wide by 48 inches tall. Some easy assembly is required.

By Christine M. Wold (Fort Worth, TX USA):

I ordered 4 of these chairs. They were delivered right on time for my upcoming BBQ. They were very easy for me, a young 5′ woman, to assemble. The only thing I can think of that might not be so awesome is that three of the dowels supplied for assembly didn’t quite end up flush with the holes, but they were very easy to shave off with just a box-cutter. The material is very good quality. I have no worries of getting splinters when I jump on and off of them. Like I said I’m 5′ so it takes some effort for me to get on and off of them, but they are very sturdy & stable for climbing on. I wouldn’t even be nervous to stand on these as a ladder to reach things up high. That’s kind of a big deal when you’re short but still independant.

Strathwood Anderson Hardwood Backless Barstool

18-Dec-08

Home Furniture

Entertain outdoors year round with Strathwood’s all-weather kapur hardwood barstools. A beautifully curved design adds decorative appeal, as well as comfort and support. The ribbed design includes slats close enough together to provide an even surface and far enough apart to allow rain water to fall through and dry out. A matching bar is available separately in Strathwood’s coordinating Anderson hardwood bar collection. Sized to easily fit most any porch, deck, or patio-as well as indoor rec rooms and kitchen counters-each stool measures 21 inches wide by 18 inches deep by 33-1/2 inches tall. Some easy assembly is required on arrival.

A sturdy Southeast Asian hardwood comparable to teak and with excellent weather-resistant properties, kapur is light enough to move easily and requires no oiling unless to maintain a desired finish color. Left untreated, kapur will weather to a soft warm shade of gray similar to the weathering of teak. To prevent this weathering process, apply coats of teak oil. The frequency of necessary teak oil applications depends on the intensity of the outdoor elements. After kapur furniture has weathered, restore it to original condition by using teak cleaner and then applying teak oil to prevent more weathering. The barstools’ galvanized hardware is designed for rust-free performance.

I ordered these chairs knowing they would be exposed to rain. They are comfortable, went together easily, and are nicely designed. They are a great value for the price.
