Uwharrie Chair Nantucket Settee

Description

The Nantucket Settee is only one of the pieces of this wonderful series. Each piece provides a balance of aesthetic charm and lifestyle integrity. Each heavy, generously scaled piece is hand-crafted from 1-inch-thick, kiln-dried pressure-treated southern yellow pine, an American renewable resource. The pine is insect- and rot-resistant, providing comfortable enjoyment for many years to come. All hardware used to assemble the furniture is stainless steel. All paints used to coat the products are latex enamel should you choose to add some color to your outdoor seating.  Some assembly is required.

Finish Options:

Natural - No paint or finish.  It will weather to silvery gray over time if not treated.  Using a varnish or latex enamel will help delay the weathering process.

Distressed Finish - 3 coats of paint with edges sanded to reveal wood, giving a time worn appearance.

Washed Finish - 1 coat of paint with heavy sanding over the entire piece.  You can expect to see the wood grain through the paint.

Pristine Finish - 3 coats of paint covering the entire surface, no sanding or distressing.  This finish is very clean looking.

About Materials Used in Uwharrie Furniture

Many outdoor furniture products carry environmental objections such as tropical lumber harvesting that devastates rainforests and threatens endangered species or plastics disposal that is harmful to the environment. The Uwharrie Chair Company offers pressure-treated pine as a simple alternative to imported teak, painted metal or hardwood, and molded plastic. Treated lumber offers distinct advantages over other traditional outdoor materials. It is insect- and rot-resistant, it may be stained, painted, or left natural, and it is milled from plantation-grown Southern pine, a renewable resource.

The Uwharrie Unique Finish and How It Will Age

The wood used in Uwharrie chairs requires no additional protection from exposure to weather. This is why it's possible to distress the finish, giving the furniture the appearance of time-worn antiques. As Uwharrie products age naturally, their rustic character will be enhanced. You should expect to see some additional loss of paint and some surface cracking; exposed wood will eventually turn dark. But even as nature matures your furniture, the wood and the product will remain structurally sound for years to come.
