Esme Occasional Chair

Natural This product is made from Rubberwood: Rubberwood is also known as Plantation Hardwood and is a light-coloured medium-density tropical hardwood obtained from the Para Rubber Tree. Rubberwood is commonly advertised as an "environmentally friendly" wood as it makes use of plantation trees that have already served a useful function. Rubberwood has a dense grain that is easily controlled in the kiln drying process. Rubber-wood has very little shrinkage making it one of the more stable construction materials available for furniture. It is easily to work with and takes on stains uniformly. It is not suitable for outdoor use, as rain can leach the protective chemicals from the wood, exposing it to fungus and insect attacks. Excessive moisture can cause the wood to warp.
