Made by hand from natural materials, each item displays a variety of unique natural markings and variation in color. Minor cracks and imperfections with slight variation in size is to be expected. While this product is weather-resistant and suitable for indoor and outdoor use, it is the buyer’s responsibility to follow all care instructions, including but not limited to covering the surface during inclement weather and when not in use with a professional grade furniture cover. Concrete is naturally porous, so moisture buildup can turn to ice and crack the surface during freezing temperatures. Do not allow salt spray to build up as it can corrode the product; wipe off or hose down periodically.
