why when the cover is on and if it had rained the faxu wood has white stains on it

Ours did that, but because we put the cover on without whipping off the little rain that had fallen on it. Condensation as it warmed up and we then took the cover off.

That didn't happen to me when I put the cover on. I actually made a cover for the unit so that when we are not using it with the fire it is a full table. I took a 32" x 32" piece of plywood then screwed four 1/2" x 1/2" inch pieces around the outside of the plywood so it would be raised above the crystals then painted it then stuck peel off wood flooring tiles on top that actually look like the original.

We had a similar issue. I applied a furniture oil/stain and it went away. My thought is that it was from the condensation that built up under the cover so I swtiched the cover out to one similar to covering lawn furniture with cushions. The fabric is still waterproof but condensation doesn't collect.

Lisa I had the same problem. I believe it has something to do with the sealer they put on the faux wood. I bought a different cover and the problem has pretty much gone away. I like the fire put but there definately is an issue that the manufacturer should address.Jeff

It appears to be a hardwood of some species, but it is stained, so I don't recognize which one.

It is white and usually in other stains as well. Down rod could be cut to fit if necessary.

The material is basically plastic, I have used windex, but it depends of the source of the stain

The covers are coated with a water resistent substance. Water will bead up on the covers.

The stain on the back is pretty close to the front but you will see the fasteners on the back. You might be able to cover them with something.

Mine was natural so I stained it. We have it outside and it is holding up well......

The wood is treated, but it is of very poor quality, full of knotholes that can let in water. I had to caulk these and give the shed a good paint job. If it ever rains again here in sunny California, I'll find out how well this works.

There were marks on the wood that made it too hard to stain. I painted mine.

The top is painted wood. The first thing we did was go to a glass shop and have a piece of glass cut to fit the top to prevent stains on the white paint. That has worked very well.

No, the top is not stain proof. It is finished wood. Water, heat , marker, could all stain it.

It is finished with a light oil based stain. My guess is that you could paint it if you used some thing like Rustolium spray paint.

I asked the manufacturer that same question. They advised that you allow the wood to dry out in between uses to avoid mold because the wood is untreated. I then asked them why they didn't treat it to avoid that problem. They advised that they have tried treating it in the past, but it resulted in staining on the clothes.

Yes as far as i have found the water runs off the cushion in droplets, and stains so far have done the same thing with a quick rub of a damp cloth. There must be a weatherproof/spillproof coating on the cushion already..

I'm sorry, I've only used it once so far. Yesterday it rained a little and the few drops I got on the jacket seemed to bead and roll off, no stains yet. I will know as I use the jacket more in the future!

I don't know, mine is still white and I have had it for a month. I do keep it away from moisture and usually keep it in a dry protected place such as my purse or pocket. I would return it.
