When it comes to decorating your patio you just cannot do it without a couple of patio chairs to give somewhere to sit down as well as soak up the sun? For anybody with a patio, chairs are a must.
The two great enemies of a well-finished wooden surface are heat and moisture. Wood and wooden veneers crack when they dry out too much, so keep your furniture away from radiators and out of direct sunlight. Wet encourages rot, mold and mildew, staining and swelling so, similarly, make sure wooden pieces are kept in reasonably dry conditions. Antiques should be kept in a safe place, protected from spills and generally cossetted. Your outdoor dining table in plantation teak may be more robust but it will still suffer if its feet are always sitting in damp grass.
