Bought 2 sets for our large balcony. Before ordering online I did have a question about teak maintenance. Called the Destin store for advice. Amanda explained that either I let it turn patina or (after about 4 months) apply a sealer. The wax coat has to be faded and the teak clean and dry before you can do this. We took care of the order & delivery while on the phone. Great experience without having to make a trip to the store.
