Questions About French Outdoor Furniture
- Is outdoor furniture waterproof?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertSeptember 25, 2019
Most outdoor furniture is water-resistant but not waterproof. In other words, it resists, but does not prevent, water penetration.
- 1stDibs ExpertMay 30, 2024There is no single type or brand that can be called the strongest outdoor furniture. How long a particular piece lasts will depend on its craftsmanship, the weather conditions in the area and how you care for and maintain it. Materials do affect durability as well. Some particularly long-lasting materials include wrought iron, aluminum, stainless steel, teak wood, fiberglass, resin wicker and tempered glass. Find a wide range of outdoor furniture on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertMay 30, 2024There is no single most lasting outdoor furniture. Some materials do tend to endure the effects of weather and sun exposure better than others. Among them are teak wood, wrought iron, resin wicker, stainless steel, aluminum, fiberglass and tempered glass. However, the quality of the craftsmanship of furniture and how well you care for and maintain pieces will also impact longevity. Explore a collection of outdoor furniture on 1stDibs.

On 1stDibs, explore a variety of outdoor furniture.
- 1stDibs ExpertOctober 12, 2021The best weatherproof outdoor furniture can be aluminum furniture, as it is one of the most durable kinds of outdoor furniture that can stand any weather. Teak is inherently water-resistant and should be the hardwood of choice for all kinds of wet environs, like boat decks and yacht floors. However, it is always smart to cover up any outdoor furniture. On 1stDibs, find a variety of antique and vintage outdoor furniture.

- 1stDibs ExpertOctober 12, 2021The best timber for outdoor furniture is said to be three softwoods — cypress, redwood, and cedar.

- Can outdoor furniture get wet?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertSeptember 25, 2019
Outdoor furniture can get wet, but it is important to note that most is water-resistant not waterproof.
- 1stDibs ExpertNovember 2, 2021The best wood for outdoor furniture is a matter of preference. Teak, cypress, white oak and cedar are said to be among the most popular materials for outdoor furniture. Hardwoods are typically stronger and denser than their softwood counterparts when it comes to choosing the best tables and chairs for your patio and garden. On 1stDibs, find a variety of antique and vintage wooden outdoor furniture.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Some popular French furniture styles of the 19th century include Directoire, Empire and Restoration. The Regency style popular from 1715 to 1730 is also well known. Many styles share their names with the monarchs who ruled during the period. Examples include the Louis XIV, Louis XV and Louis XVI styles. On 1stDibs, find a wide range of French furniture.
- What is French furniture called?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertAugust 20, 2024French furniture is usually just called French furniture in English. In French, someone might say "les meubles français," which translates directly to "French furniture." However, there are names for furniture styles inspired by the furniture produced in France. French Provincial is the name for pieces made in or inspired by craftsmen from the Loire Valley or in Lyon. Furniture produced in this style often shows off scalloped carvings and curving cabriole legs. French royal furniture is the general term for furnishings made for the monarchs of France or inspired by these pieces. An example is Louis XVI furniture, which often includes clean lines and carved details such as scrolls and acanthus flourishes that were inspired by ancient Greece and Rome. Find a wide variety of French furniture on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 13, 2023As far as determining whether aluminum or rattan is better for outdoor furniture, one should keep in mind that genuine rattan is not waterproof. If you’re thinking about using rattan outdoor furniture in a patio or garden area and you live in a region that is susceptible to inclement weather, this material will most certainly rot if subjected to prolonged periods of rain or snow. Invest in a durable waterproof cover to protect your rattan outdoor furniture in the rain or, if you are able, store it away. Cast aluminum is a popular choice for outdoor furniture given that it is resistant to rust and it is a durable material. Find a selection of outdoor furniture on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertMay 5, 2023It varies how long outdoor bamboo furniture lasts. The quality of the craftsmanship, how much weather exposure pieces receive and how well you care for it will all impact the lifespan of furniture made of bamboo. Antique and vintage bamboo furniture can help introduce an air of relaxation in any space, and pairs well with chinoiserie decor and a range of porcelain decorative objects. On 1stDibs, shop a collection of bamboo furniture.
