Archipelago FAQs

All furniture is designed for 100% full outdoor exposure to all normal weather conditions. We always recommend that you cover your furniture or decorative accessories when not using them.

Never Drag furniture. With the help of another able-bodied adult, move the furniture carefully and safely. Make sure if storing any furniture that you store it safely to prevent it falling on other persons. Do not permit children to play around stored furniture.

Always seek the assistance of another physically able adult to assist you in unpacking assembling or setting up your products. Never try to assemble products on your own, you may hurt yourself and damage / break your product.

NEVER drag or pull any Archipelago furniture item by the polypropylene weave. Doing so will stretch and in extreme circumstances break the furniture weaving.

If you need to move a table, DO NOT move the table and base together. Remove the top from the table pedestal base(s) and then move it to the desired location.

All furniture should be used only on level, solid surfaces at all times. Do not rock back and forth on chairs or any type of seating. This may weaken the furniture joints.

All cushion covers should be washed gently in one-part clear dish soap (no dyes or colors in dish soap), rinsed in cold water and then allowed to dry naturally with plenty of air circulation. Do not place any cushion cover in any heated dryer or close to any heated drying machine.

All furniture is subject to possible staining. Should you spill any liquids on your furniture, blot up the foreign liquid or substance with a clean, damp cloth and then rinse with cold water. Avoid acidic and oily substances on any of the polypropylene fiber and cushion covers.

Always store your furniture upright during winter periods to permit water, snow and humidity to drain away from the furniture item. Storing furniture upside down may cause water to enter into the metal frames, freeze and become damaged.

1. We have been testing this product in a pool for over a year and it has held up pretty well
2. Here’s what we have learned in over 12 months of testing; you have to watch your chemicals. As you know, pools are regularly tested. What we found was that if the pool is highly alkaline, you can have some limescale build up on the aluminum metal base.
3. The scale can be periodically removed
4. The aluminum frame is zinc coated and powder coated so it is suitable for in pool use, but it is just like everything else, it requires some maintenance and requires watching your pool chems
5. That’s about it, I have really enjoyed this in the pool, it’s comfortable and provides just enough connecting with the water to refresh you without being extremely out of the water
6. We have not noticed any significant change in the PE rattan
7. We have only periodically removed the chaises from the pool (perhaps 2-3 times in the year) to remove some of the limescale which is quite heavy in Texas, but like a swimming pool, a reputable pool cleaning company will be watching for limescale build up and using chemicals to treat and manage the pool
8. The PE synthetic rattan is a beautiful, soft warm grey
9. The neck pillow is suitable for full outdoor use, obviously, the more you have it protected when not in use, the better it appears
