- Is acacia wood good for outdoor furniture?
- Yes. Acacia is dense and naturally resistant to rot and insects, which makes it a better outdoor choice than pine or most eucalyptus. It still benefits from an annual coat of outdoor oil to keep its color.
- Can the cushions stay outside in the rain?
- They are not fully waterproof. Bring them in or cover the set during heavy rain, and let them dry fully before use to prevent mildew.
- How many people does it seat?
- Five: three on the sofa and one in each armchair. The coffee table anchors the layout in front of the sofa.
- Does the wood need maintenance?
- Yes. Clean it with mild soap and water and re-oil it once or twice a year. Untreated acacia slowly turns a silvery gray.
- How hard is assembly?
- It comes flat-packed with hardware. Expect an hour or two with two people, mainly for aligning the sofa and chair frames.
- Where is the SlickBlue 4-Piece Acacia Wood Patio Furniture cheapest?
- At Lowe's, for $364.99, as of our latest check.
