PRODUCT CARE

Specifications

Our products are made for indoor and outdoor use. Constructed using an intensive welding technique in Asia and finished in Los Angeles, California. The base material is iron:

- Sandblasted to clean any imperfections on the surface.

- Hot-dip galvanized to prevent rust.

- Powder coated, for a resistant coating on the product’s surface.

Sustainable Material

Iron is a highly recyclable material. Scrap from iron can be reheated and forged again and again into a solid mass. We chose iron because of these properties, and it’s incredible strength.

To help us protect the environment, please remember to take your packaging and any old unwanted furniture to your local waste disposal center for recycling.

Care & Maintenance

No matter what the material (i.e. wood, fabric, plastic, metal...) all furniture requires maintenance to ensure a long healthy life. The lifespan of the material and finish will vary considerably in relation to the conditions and type of use it is subject to. To help you maximize the lifespan of both Bend powder-coated and plated furniture, we have some essential rules you should follow.

• Always store Bend furniture in dry, well-ventilated places when it is not in use

• Take every precaution to protect Bend furniture from any knocks or bumps that could cause chipping or scratching to the finish. Touch up paint should be immediately applied to any blemishes that occur.

• To prevent scratches and water retention, we recommend that you do not place decorative objects or flowerpots on any Bend wire tabletops without rubber or felt pads to prevent damage due to scraping.

• Use glides to protect furniture feet as well as floor surfaces. These prevent degradation or damage to the legs and feet resulting from unprotected contact with the ground.

• Immediately clean off any traces of bird droppings, as these can be damaging and may lead to the corrosion or staining of your furniture.

• Screws used for assembly may need to be tightened on an as needed basis based on volume of use. We recommend at least every 4 to 6 months.

Unwrapping Products

Please take care when unwrapping your furniture to prevent any damage. Gently cut the plastic ties, making sure that you do not come in contact with the metal.

Cleaning

Metal furniture can be cleaned using either clean water or water containing a non-detergent soap. The furniture should then be wiped dry. Abrasive sponges should not be used to scrub the furniture, and no abrasive powders or other types of detergent should be used.

Scratches & Rust

Any scratches should be quickly treated. If rust begins to appear as a result of a scratch or bump, apply an anti-rust product such as Rustoleum® as quickly as possible. You can also visit a local powder coater and have your product refinished. If treated correctly the furniture should last for many years.
