The glaze and ink for the printed top is melted into the glass at 700degree C so normal temperature cannot peel it away at all. It has been tested at the factory and a sharp object can also not peel it away from the surface.

We advise you to clean your Portofino furniture annually using warm soapy water. Only clean using a damp cloth and mild detergent, do not use bleach or abrasive cleaners. For any fly rust, we recommend cleaning this off using WD40.

This can happen due to the static build up that can be from the soles of shoes, fabrics, artificial grass etc, and can give you a shock when you touch your synthetic furniture. We suggest you wipe the furniture down with an anti-static sheet such as a tumble dryer sheet.

All hardwoods lose their minerals and salts and as they evaporate cracks will appear on the end grain (tops of chairs/end of tables/end of arms). This is normal. Sometimes the crack will open quite wide, especially in hot weather. They will close when it rains or is cooler. This cracking will not affect the stability of the furniture and in most cases occurs within the first few months and gets no worse. Treatment can help reduce cracking as our Timber Protector replaces some of the natural oil that is lost through evaporation.

Yes. Weathering on our painted destressed furniture is completely natural. Normally our natural timber takes up to a year to completely mellow, but this will take a lot longer to break down the layers on our painted ranges. Therefore, we expect the silvery grey effect to occur after 2-3 years. However, after a year you will see a slight fade in the original colour as the table is exposed to the natural elements. Should you wish to prolong the appearance you can purchase our Timber Sealer and apply a thin layer annually.
