Available in your choice of acrylic color stains this glider is finished with Cuprinol an outdoor water-based stain with UV inhibitors for excellent color retention and fade resistance. Also all hardware is stainless steel to prevent rusting. Please note that this item comes in a weathered antiqued finish. This product is shipped partially assembled; all necessary fasteners and easy-to-follow instructions are included. Why does the Cottage Classic collection use an acrylic color stain instead of paint Plain and simple…because an acrylic color stain lasts longer. Paint does effectively seal the wood - temporarily. It's the unpainted areas you can't see that create the problems. Screw holes on the underside of every board for instance invite moisture to work its way under the painted surface. With no place for the water to go the result is rotting wood under the surface. Painted Cypress products will begin to deteriorate within two years if left outside in the weather. A water-based or oil-based stain on the other hand allows the wood to breathe. Any moisture that gets in can still get out. After the color stain is applied to each Cottage Classic piece it is lightly sanded to create a slightly weathered look.
