Brazilian Cherry rates at more than twice the hardness of teak, and has been used in decking, playground equipment, railroad crossties, marine and other outdoor applications for many years due to its density and superior weather resistant qualities. This wood is rare in furniture because its hardness makes it difficult to machine without the sophisticated equipment and advanced manufacturing techniques employed in the making of this chair.   Notice: A lot of the outdoor furniture pieces you see on ebay are cheap and flimsy.  Others are used, and still others are sold by folks who don't know how to pack and ship.  We have been selling outdoor furniture for 15 straight years and you can count on us for top quality durable pieces with beautiful finishes and real comfort.  Don't take chances on the folks that give ebay a bad name.  Don't end up sorry you bought a bad piece somewhere.  Instead choose an excellent piece at an incredibly fair price.  I am an eBay Platinum Powerseller with 100% positive feedback.  Buy from a dealer you can trust.  Decor Americana.     Use and Care for the Natural Oiled finish: Over time, Brazilian Cherry, if ordered in the natural oil finish, can be expected to weather to a natural grey. If the grey tone is preferred, no maintenance is necessary.   Some owners of teak and brazilian cherry furniture like to maintain the original color, and to protect outdoor furniture against stains and mildew.  The proper way to maintain the color is with the application of a high quality teak cleaner and teak protector, which are available in most high end outdoor furniture stores and mail order catalogs.  However, we also offer this product - as usual, at a significant discount to the price it is available elsewhere.  To find it, just click on "Accessories for Oil Rockers" on the left menu.   If using these care products, you would first clean your furniture with Teak Cleaner in order to remove oil, stains, and discolorations from your wood, and then treat it with Teak Protector, which seals the wood against further discoloration and mildew.  This combined treatment usually lasts a season.  But let me say it one more time: this premium quality weatherproof wood does not require any treatment at all - treating the wood is for those who want to maintain the original color and look of the wood.    Why do I want a Weatherproof Furniture Piece? Most outdoor furniture pieces sold today are not weatherproof - they are usually made of oak, ash, hickory, or other woods that must remain finished in order not to rot. Those finishes cannot withstand outdoor conditions indefinitely, and so most pieces have a limited lifespan on an outside porch. Other than those made of teak or other dense, oil-rich tropical woods, virtually no piece available today can be left unprotected in the sun and rain. This piece can, and this fact makes it a very fine choice, and very convenient because you can use places that other pieces can't go, and don't have to move it in and out to keep it out of the weather. Life is too short to let a bad furniture piece run you down.   This outdoor furniture piece is warranted by the manufacturer against manufacturing defects for three years from date of purchase. Sorry, but manufacturer rules do not allow me to divulge the brand name, but you will receive all paperwork necessary to validate the warranty, since we are an authorized dealer of the chair.   This item is shipped partially assembled in order to conform with shipping guidelines. Assembly is easy with included instructions, and takes about 15 minutes.  How Can I Sell at These Prices? I have been designing, manufacturing, and selling outdoor furniture for 15 years, and I know the product and the market better than anyone.  Several years ago, I came across a reliable, high quality manufacturer in Brazil, using the finest  weatherproof wood available in the Americas to make beautiful and incredibly durable furniture- I had never seen anything like it other than teak, which I have sold a great deal of over the years.  I started small with my new friends, but over time built up a huge business all over America and the world.  From the beginning, I have always kept my costs low and my prices better than anyone else.  Now I purchase by the containerload and ship everything straight from my port warehouse to you - there is no waste, no middleman, and no better way to buy a fine rocker.    THINK YOU MIGHT LIKE THIS PIECE?  Don't take my word for it - just READ THE FEEDBACK from the people who have bought our Outdoor Furniture Pieces!   Decor Americana's 100% Satisfaction Guarantee: If you are not satisfied FOR ANY REASON, you may return your items in new condition to me within seven calendar days of receipt for a full refund less shipping charges.  Even if you have assembled the furniture and it cannot be put back into the original box, you can send the furniture back to me if it is still in new condition.  Your satisfaction is my goal, and I am confident you will be delighted with my furniture!     Want Additional Items?
