This Product is Certified by the Forest Stewardship Council
The wood used in this patio furniture is FSC certified, an environmentally-friendly method of forestry. Many forests around the world are still damaged and destroyed by irresponsible logging. Logging can contribute to habitat destruction, water pollution, displacement of indigenous peoples, and violence against those who work the forest as well as the wildlife that dwells there. Many consumers and manufacturers believe that the negative impacts brought on by logging can be stopped, and forests can be all at once managed and protected. Forest Stewardship Council certification is one way to improve the practice of forestry. The Forest Stewardship Council, or FSC, is a non-profit organization devoted to encouraging the responsible management of the world's forests. The council sets high standards that ensure forestry is practiced in an environmentally responsible, socially beneficial, and economically viable way.

It is considered the ideal wood for outdoor furniture.
