URBAN OUTDOOR FURNITURE

When investing in quality outdoor furniture, many customers wonder: can I get a sample of the wood finish before committing? The answer is typically yes - most reputable furniture companies and finish manufacturers provide small stain samples upon request. Requesting wood finish samples is crucial for several reasons. First, colors appear differently in various lighting conditions - what looks perfect in showroom lighting might appear different in your backyard sunlight. Second, you'll want to verify how the finish complements your existing outdoor decor and home exterior. Most companies offer sample swatches, small test pots, or pre-finished wood chips that demonstrate the actual color and texture. When you receive samples, test them on scrap wood similar to your furniture material. Observe how they look at different times of day and in various weather conditions. Pay attention to how the finish feels - some provide more texture while others create smoother surfaces. Don't hesitate to contact customer service specifically asking for "finish samples" before making your purchase decision. This simple step ensures you'll be completely satisfied with your outdoor furniture's appearance for years to come.
