Bar Stool - Mona Teak by La Forma

Each piece of furniture in the range is left untreated in order for it to maintain its most natural appearance.
Furniture is both suitable to be placed undercover or indoors. If the furniture is left untreated and exposed to the elements, it will take on a silvery grey patina due to Oxidation.
Oxidation of timber (Silver grey appearance) only takes place if furniture is exposed to the UV rays of the sun.
If the furniture is placed undercover or in a shady area it will remain its original colour and no treatment will be necessary. If you choose to leave your furniture untreated, oily foods could leave marks on the furniture surfaces, but may be easily removed with sandpaper.
100 to 400 grid sandpaper is recommended, to lightly sand the unwanted marks off the surfaces of your furniture.
Oiling or varnishing of timber will allow you to seal your furniture and maintain its rich natural colour. Oiling your furniture seals and protects the timber with the least amount of effort.

Oiling should take place every 6 – 12 months if the furniture is in direct exposure of the elements. If the furniture is constantly undercover, we recommend re-coating every 24 months.
Any timber varnish or oil can be used on the furniture providing you follow the instructions of that particular product. The maintenance interval will depend on the exposure to sun and rain or whether undercover or protected.
