Works of art, our faux bois furniture is made from reinforced cast concrete to resemble weathered branches. Over time, some cracks may occur, but the steel frame will maintain the integrity of the sculptures for decades. The French are credited with developing this type of garden furniture; hence, the French term faux bois or "false wood". The furniture crated weighs up to 340 lbs. White Glove Delivery is included for the bench. Variations in color may occur, and the bench may darken over time. Please note: Hairline cracks are normal and do not affect the structural integrity of this furniture. If this is not acceptable for aesthetic or other reasons, we recommend that you buy furniture of a different material. Contact our Furniture Specialist with any questions at 877-422-9688.
