Frequently Asked Questions about Wooden Outdoor Furniture
How long should I expect my furniture to last?
Down Home Dexterities guarantees all of our finished products for a minimum of five years before you will start to see some weathering of the finish. Whether it be our Adirondack Chairs, Porch Swings, Hanging Beds, Deck Chairs, Patio Chairs, or Rocking Chairs, all of our products are secured with the highest quality fasteners so you get the longest lifespan possible. You should not see any structural issues before the five year mark, but we understand that wood can sometimes be unpredictable. DHD sells thousands of Adirondack chairs, so it is inevitable that a slat will break or an arm will crack. When this happens, we are more than happy to send you a replacement part or swap out the product. This is just one of the many benefits of doing business with DHD rather than larger companies who want nothing to do with you after the sale has been made.
Can I refinish my furniture?
Absolutely! A benefit of wooden furniture is that is not hard to refinish if you decide that you want to restore the piece to its original beauty. Our stained products will require some light sanding on any surface that you would like to restore. You do not have to strip the previous finish down to bare wood if you are keeping the same color. After sanding, you can apply a water-based clear coat and it will revive the original color. Painted products are usually a little bit more labor intensive and may require sanding down to bare wood in order to achieve the best results.
Why should I buy wooden outdoor furniture over composite outdoor furniture?
As woodworkers, we hold wood very near and dear to our hearts. We prefer wooden outdoor furniture from an aesthetic standpoint. In todays world, almost everything is plastic. Even if it is "really good plastic", it does not have the same refreshing feel as a real handcrafted wooden piece. Not only this, but the longevity of composite is not that significant in comparison. The original colors will fade over time, and they are much harder to restore. Lastly, and perhaps the most important factor is price. Composite outdoor furniture can cost almost 3 times as much as its wooden counterpart. This can potentially be thousands of dollars over an entire order. With DHD providing a 5 year guarantee, the trade-off is not worth it in our humble opinion.
How much patio, firepit, or porch space will I need for my furniture?
If you have ever order outdoor furniture from sites like Wayfair or Hayneedle, you know that you can get a product much smaller than anticipated. That is the exact opposite experience you should expect when buying furniture from DHD. Our items are usually larger/more heavy duty than anticipated, so be sure to read all specifications on the individual product pages. If you need our expert opinion, just give us a call!
