Product Description
Featuring a classic rectangular shape and able to withstand all weather, this Strathwood coffee table makes a handsome addition to any porch, patio, deck, or yard, as well as any indoor living space. Its ribbed design is both attractive and functional. The slats are far enough apart to allow rain water to fall through and dry out and close enough together to provide an even surface so dishes won't tilt. The Gibranta table is part of a coordinating collection that includes a 2-seater bench and an armchair. Pair the pieces in the Gibranta collection with the hardwood pieces in the Bradford collection for a fully accessorized outdoor set. Sized for convenience and utility, the coffee table measures 43-1/2 inches wide by 27-1/2 inches deep by 18-1/2 inches tall and weighs approximately 20 pounds. Some easy assembly is required on arrival. 
Crafted from durable, eucalyptus hardwood, this furniture is intended for outdoor use in all weather. A beautiful hardwood comparable to teak and with excellent weather-resistant properties, Eucalyptus is dense and naturally resistant to rot and insect infestation. Certified by the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC), there is no doubt about the responsible production and consumption of this wood. The rapid growth of eucalyptus trees makes them more readily available and more easily affordable. In addition, furniture constructed of eucalyptus is light enough to move easily and requires no oiling unless to maintain a desired look.
Left untreated, eucalyptus will weather when exposed to the elements, turning a soft shade of silver/gray similar to the weathering of teak. In addition, when untreated, natural splitting or cracks will appear, but this will not affect the durability of the furniture. To guard against this weathering process and to maintain a desired look, apply coats of a hardwood oil. The frequency of necessary oil applications depends on the intensity of the outdoor elements. The furniture has already been oiled prior to packing, and it is recommended that an oil treatment be repeated at least once a year. Giving the furniture an extra treatment before exposing to rain will prolong the new look and ensure a longer life.
After eucalyptus furniture has weathered, it can be restored if desired by sanding down the surface, cleaning it, and then applying oil to prevent more weathering. To clean it, mix one tablespoon of bleach, five tablespoons of a gentle dishwashing liquid, and a gallon of water, and gently scrub the mixture on the surface of the wood with a soft bristle brush. Rinse the solution from the furniture, and allow it to dry completely in the sun. Developed for use in high humidity, the furniture is best not stored in centrally heated areas, as that could lead to excessive drying out of the wood.
Wood that becomes saturated with water and left over an extended period without drying out is more likely to warp and rot. The bases of furniture legs are probably the most vulnerable when it
