TABLETOP STYLES

Standard or Seamless Tabletop

Seamless Tabletop (Most Popular Indoors) Ideal for use in a covered patio or indoors. It can be taken outdoors for a meal or party but isn't designed for outdoor living.  The seamless construction creates a beautiful unbroken tabletop surface that is just as strong as our standard tabletop.	Standard Tabletop (Recommended & Most Popular Outdoors) Recommended for tables to be left out in the weather. Outdoor tabletop boards need "breathing" room to expand and contract to the constant changes in moisture and temperature. The standard tabletop boards are separated by 1/16-inch to allow for this movement.

Select tables also offer tabletops in the following additional styles:

Parquet Tabletop Style  A seamless design made with contrasting blocks of varying wood grades to create a beautiful tapestry of color and wood grains.  Designed primarily for indoor use, the Parquet table can be taken out for short stints outdoors. Its seamless design makes it ideal for a covered patio or indoor use year round. Any benches for a table set will be in matching parquet bench tops by default. If you prefer benches in a different design, just let us know. The parquet pieces will be naturally varied in color as shown.

Old Country Tabletop Style An old European design that can be used either outdoors or indoors. It has a perimeter frame with a dividing board across the center of the top widthwise. For indoors, we recommend the Old Country Seamless tabletop option. For year round outdoor applications, please choose the Old Country Standard tabletop design.

FINISH OPTIONS

All our furniture ships finely sanded to 220 grit for a smooth to the touch finish.

The most popular finish is our Transparent Premium Sealant. This sealant leaves your furniture looking natural and helps keep the beautiful wood surface colors from fading for several years. We use Sikkens brand finishes because they are the best finishes on the market. For more information about our finishes and how to keep your furniture looking great year after year, please go to: https://www.foreverredwood.com/redwood-furniture/care-finish/

Unfinished (fine sanding only):

If you are applying your own stain or want the surface color to fade to a "weathered look" in a few months. We do not recommend you leave your furniture unfinished outdoors for any extended period regardless of wood quality. Outdoor weather changes constantly and it is best to at least seal the wood to protect it from consistently absorbing and losing moisture.

Transparent Premium Sealant - Recommended for Outdoors:

Below are the 5 grades of wood we offer with the Transparent Premium Sealant applied. The color tones shown are close representations of the color your furniture will look like. There is no extra charge for the Transparent Premium Sealant:

Douglas Fir (10 yr Warranty)	Mosaic Eco-Wood (10 yr Warranty)	Redwood (15 yr Warranty)	Mature Redwood (20 yr Warranty)	Old Growth Redwood (30 yr Warranty)

We also offer the Transparent Premium Sealant with the following stains. There is a small charge for adding these stains because it increases the total amount of coats to 4 with the sealant as the final coats:

Transparent	Cherry Stain	Coffee Stain	Black Premium Stain	White Wash

TIGER STRIPE EFFECT

Douglas-Fir when stained dark creates a "tiger stripe" effect as shown in this photo. It is beautiful and most customers love it. If you are looking for a dark consistent stain and do not want to see a “tiger stripe effect”, please go with any of the Redwood grades for a more consistent stain finish.
