Traditional Adirondack style makes the Plum Creek Side Table a good addition to other Plum Creek pieces or any Adirondack chair. It features a simple, plank-style table top and tapered legs. Available in four finishes, each one is light enough that you'll still enjoy the wood's natural grain. Cypress wood construction means this table is durable, rot-resistant, and a natural insect repellent. Some simple assembly is required and will take approximately 20 minutes.
About Cypress Wood
Cypress is a beautiful, distinctive, and durable wood that assures years of trouble-free satisfaction and its uses reflect that. In addition to rugged outdoor furniture, cypress is regularly used in building construction, posts, beams, decks, docks, porch flooring, greenhouses, and siding. Because of its durability, cypress can be used in many of the same products as cedar and redwood. The reason for this durability is natural preservative oil known as "cypressine," which gives the wood resistance to insect attack and rot.
Cypress is all but indestructible. It is a close-grain wood that resists checking and warping, and it is long-lasting as well as weather-resistant. Cypress can be easily painted, and it holds paint longer than other wood. If you choose to paint this product, you should use an exterior oil-based primer (white or gray) followed by an exterior oil or latex paint of your choice. If you choose to have the product remain natural, you should apply a natural oil-based stain or preservative annually or as needed. Note: Cypress is a dense wood and the drying process may take several days depending on humidity and temperature. Small cracks called weather checking may appear in the wood. This is a natural process and will not affect the useful life of this product.
