The finish on this Eucalyptus bench can change over time. It is not
uncommon and users should expect some swelling, discoloration or
possible surface cracks due to the outside exposure and changes in the
weather. These are considered natural occurrences of wood and should not
be considered as a product defect. To prolong the life of your item you
should consider placing under a covered area. Also, you can finish the
wood with linseed oil to prolong its life.
