Franklin Rocking Chair Set

What's Included In This Package

Franklin Rocking Chair by Oxford Garden

Quantity: 2

This rocking chair combines a truly proud historic look with modern styling touches. Each sturdily built rocking chair reflects traditional English design and is crafted of beautiful, durable shorea wood. One of the most important benefits of this wood is that it is resistant to rot and bug damage. With little or no maintenance, your rocker will last many years outdoors. Left untreated, it will weather naturally to a warm shade of gray. Made for indoors, outdoors, or covered porch.

About Shorea Wood
Shorea is possibly the best wood choice for outdoor furniture. Related to Burma teak, this hardwood grows naturally and plentifully in the Pacific Rim countries, making it considerably less expensive than teak. Because shorea contains an abundance of natural oils, is dense, heavy and hard, it is highly resistant to rot, bug infestation, weather and marring.
Shorea is strong and weather-resistant enough to be left untreated. If left untreated, each piece will weather to a nice shade of gray. The weathering process will change the color, but the grain will still be smooth. There is no splitting or splintering. You may treat each piece of your set with Teak Oil to prolong weathering. Each piece is durable, classic and elegant.
An Eco-Friendly Choice
We realize the importance of preserving our environment. Our Shorea wood is imported from Java, which is diligently managed by its government to ensure wise, renewable harvesting and fair prices. Rest assured you are making a responsible choice when you purchase this set crafted from Shorea.
