New River outdoor furniture is crafted from hand-finished, 100% natural jotoba hardwood, also known as Brazilian cherry, which is sourced from internationally certified environmentally managed forests in Brazil. Jatoba is praised for its fine grain, density, and weather resistance. It is much harder than teak and offers twice the strength of red oak. Mortise and tenon construction provides exceptional craftsmanship for many years of practically maintenance-free enjoyment. Wood is finished in organic linseed oil and will turn deep red after its initial use in the sun.
