Rope Furniture
So uniquely attractive you may not realize at first just how uncommonly tough our DURAWOOD®chairs are as well! The dense poly-lumber at the heart of this brawny outdoor furniture is not just exceptionally weather-resistant, it’s downright weather-defiant.
We call our DURAWOOD® furniture “Hurricane Proof,” and if we’re exaggerating at all, it ain’t by much, as in should your back deck blow down in an ugly storm like one of those we’re all too familiar with here on the Outer Banks, odds are your DURAWOOD® chair will still be sitting right there regardless! This great-looking outdoor furniture has gale-force gumption.
Oh, and one final note; should you ever find yourself in an actual hurricane, please refrain from going outside and testing your DURAWOOD® chair for its weather-hardiness. The chair will almost certainly fare just fine; you, on the other hand, could very well blow away …
