Great American Woodies Cottage Classic Adirondack Tete-a-Tete

Engage a friend in lazy afternoon conversation over glasses of lemonade with the Cottage Classic Adirondack Tete-a-Tete. Two comfortable chairs share a convenient side table for your pitcher and drinks. The set is slightly curved for a more intimate feel. The durable Southern Cyress construction is naturally resistant to decay, splitting, and checking. Available in various acrylic color stains, the glider is sanded for a weathered look and coated with water-based Cuprinol stain, an innovative finish with UV inhibitors to deliver excellent color rentention and fade resistance. All hardware is stainless steel to prevent any rusting or discoloring of your furniture. This product is shipped partially assembled; all necessary fasteners and easy-to-follow instructions are included.

Why does the Cottage Classic collection use an acrylic color stain instead of paint?
Plain and simple…because an acrylic color stain lasts longer. Paint does effectively seal the wood – temporarily. It's the unpainted areas you can't see that create the problems. Screw holes on the underside of every board, for instance, invite moisture to work its way under the painted surface. With no place for the water to go, the result is rotting wood under the surface. Painted Cypress products will begin to deteriorate within two years if left outside in the weather. A water-based or oil-based stain, on the other hand, allows the wood to breathe. Any moisture that gets in can still get out. After the color stain is applied to each Cottage Classic piece, it is lightly sanded to create a slightly weathered look.
