A note about Log Furniture...

All wooden outdoor furniture is subject to the natural process of checking. The process adds to the natural beauty and character of this fine furniture. Checking happens as wood releases moisture, and normally occurs across or through annual growth rings. Checking is one of the special characteristics of cedar furniture and does not affect the structural performance or integrity of the wood.
