Great American Woodies Cottage Classic Footrest

What's Included

Footrest

Description

Kick up your heels after a long day of gardening on the Great American Woodies Cottage Classic Footrest. Southern Cypress contains an oil called cypressene, a natural preservative that prevents rot and decay. Unlike pine, Southern Cypress resists cracking and splitting. The footrest is finished with Cuprinol water-based acrylic deck-and- rail stain that further enhances the ability of the wood to resist cracking and splitting. This finish will not crack, peel, or rub off onto your clothing. Each piece is hand-finished by furniture craftsmen and uses rust-resistant stainless steel hardware. This unique process of staining and finishing creates this piece's timeless cottage look. This product is shipped partially assembled; all necessary fasteners and easy-to-follow instructions are included.

A perfect complement to the Cottage Classic Adirondack Chair.

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.
