Before Assembly
1. Make sure you remove all parts form carton.
2. Familiarize yourself with the various parts while reading the instructions thoroughly.
3. Give yourself plenty of space, making sure the complete chair can be moved from the room.
4. Follow the step by step instructions to ensure easy assembly.
5. We recommend gluing all joints for a long lasting chair. Wood glue or carpenter’s glue works fine.

A Word about Northern White Pine
The white Pine in this furniture was harvested in Northern Ontario. Pine must have a protective finish applied, if left unfinished it will discolor and crack as it dries. Some surface checking may occur due to changing moisture levels but this is typical for a natural product and will not affect the durability.
Finishing White Pine
For the best finishing results use a good quality exterior stain or paint. You should follow all the manufacturer’s directions, including an initial light sanding with 120 grit sandpaper.
We do not recommend using straight spar varnish or varathane-they may look great initially but will weather very quickly and require frequent re-coating. Stains like “Sikken’s Cetol 1” provide excellent and long lasting protection.
It’s a good idea to consult your local paint or stain retailer for advice on the best finish for your geographic location and usage.
