Your concern about splinters from wood furniture is completely valid and speaks to the everyday comfort and safety of your living space. When it comes to our urban outdoor furniture, the answer is yes—every piece is designed and finished with a focus on a smooth, splinter-free experience.
We understand that wood, as a natural material, requires precise craftsmanship. Each component of our furniture undergoes a rigorous sanding process. This typically involves multiple stages, starting with coarser grits to shape the wood and ending with extra-fine grits (often 180 to 220 grit or higher) to create a silky, tactile finish. The goal is to eliminate any raised grain or roughness that could lead to a splinter.
Beyond basic sanding, we apply a protective finish. This is not just for weather resistance but also for user safety. High-quality, weather-resistant sealants, oils, or UV-resistant varnishes are brushed or sprayed on, which further seals the wood fibers. This layer acts as a barrier, preventing moisture from lifting the grain and ensuring that the surface remains as smooth on year three as it was on day one.
We also select hardwoods and timber species known for their tight grain, such as teak, eucalyptus, or specially treated acacia. These woods are naturally less prone to splintering and significantly more durable for outdoor use than softwoods.
To give you a direct answer: you can comfortably run your hand across any finished surface of our furniture. Our commitment is to provide urban outdoor pieces that feel as good as they look—inviting, safe, and built for barefoot relaxation or toddler-friendly gatherings, without the worry of splinters.
