The Fanback Rocker is a great piece to have for those evenings outdoors. A gently rocking feature will always relax you, and extra wide armrests and a gently reclined backrest will add to your comfort level. The seat is gracefully contoured for great support of your legs, hips, and back. This top-quality chair is hand-crafted from thick, kiln-dried pressure-treated Southern yellow pine. Finishes are lightly distressed and sanded to reveal bare wood in random areas. This rustic quality is enhanced over time as the products are exposed to the elements. Consequently, even new chairs appear to be antiques, and no two are exactly alike.
About Materials Used in Uwharrie Furniture
Many outdoor furniture products carry environmental objections such as tropical lumber harvesting that devastates rainforests and threatens endangered species or plastics disposal that is harmful to the environment. The Uwharrie Chair Company offers pressure-treated pine as a simple alternative to imported teak, painted metal or hardwood, and molded plastic. Treated lumber offers distinct advantages over other traditional outdoor materials. It is insect- and rot-resistant, it may be stained, painted, or left natural, and it is milled from plantation-grown Southern pine, a renewable resource.
The Uwharrie Unique Finish and How It Will Age
The wood used in Uwharrie chairs requires no additional protection from exposure to weather. This is why it's possible to distress the finish, giving the furniture the appearance of time-worn antiques. As Uwharrie products age naturally, their rustic character will be enhanced. You should expect to see some additional loss of paint and some surface cracking; exposed wood will eventually turn dark. But even as nature matures your furniture, the wood and the product will remain structurally sound for years to come.
