How do I take care of my furniture?

All varnished outdoor Moon Valley products should be lightly sanded and re-finished after the first season, depending on the extent of exposure to the elements. After that, a once-a-year treatment will do the trick. Moon Valley supplies varnish and instructions for care to add to your convenience. If your furniture is unfinished, you can stain it or treat it with a water sealer, if you prefer. It can also be left untreated and will turn a silvery-gray over time.

How is it constructed?

Our picnic tables and lawn furniture are all handcrafted with the finest quality cedar logs and Ponderosa Pine lumber. It is bolted together with heavy-duty hardware and heavily braced using truss-type leg assemblies for greater strength and stability. All edges are rounded and sanded for greater safety and comfort, and seats are contoured with our secret technique in order to meet our goal - overall beauty and comfort of our furniture.

How long will it last?

Cedar is one of the longest lasting woods available for outdoor use. Our sturdy doweled construction combined with weather resistant cedar wood makes our furniture a lasting investment to treasure for a lifetime.

What about cracks in the cedar?

It is normal, natural, and necessary for all cedar log furniture to endure the natural process of "checking" as the wood ages. Checking occurs as a cedar log releases moisture across or through the annual growth rings. It does not affect the structural performance or integrity of the furniture, and many times will enhance the natural beauty of the piece. All cedar logs which contain the heart of the tree will develop lengthwise cracks or checks, and the checking will never go deeper than the heart. In other words, don't be alarmed if you see cracks in your cedar furniture.
