What do you get in this design
The Mainstays Forest Hills collection has a steel frame that is has a dark brown powder coated finish. The finish if cared for properly will last many years. The table tops are made from shatterproof tempered glass and have a clear pebbled finish. If you need more information on the area rugs for outdoor areas that are shown in the photos, look at my information here.
Seating cushions are about 4 inches thick, the back cushions are about 3.5 inches thick and have buttons in the middle. The fabric is a polyester material that will last very well in the outdoor environment with the proper care. The cushions are reversible and the bottom cushions are attached with straps, all red cushions have a stripe design on reverse side. None of the throw pillows in the pictures are included in these sets.
Chairs in this set will come assembled. Chairs with straight legs will stack for storage. Tables will require a little assembly. Chaise lounge and swing will require a little time and skills to assemble. A Phillips screwdriver will be the only tool that will be required that is not included in each piece.
Care of your Forest Hills Collection
Care of your outdoor patio furniture should be just a simple wash with a mild soap and water. Do not use a glass cleaner on the table top, as some of these cleaners have harsh enough chemicals to damage the powder coated surfaces.
Cushions should be stored out of the weather if not used for any length of time. This will help keep the color and you can use directly after a rain. Look at some of my storage examples here for patio areas.
