We live in Texas where it is very humid. What kind of wood is this made of. Treated or no?

We live in Texas as well. The humidity doesn't affect the blocks at all. We tend to use mostly white wood because it looks nicest and isn't as heavy as some other choices.

Pure wood. When I got mine I scrubbed it clean and let it dry overnight. The next day I coated it with pharmacy grade mineral oil and let it dry for 24 hours. It is absolutely gorgeous.

The wood is natural color. I don't know what kind of wood it is because was not in the specification. Might be spruce, just guessing, but it looks good.

It is wood. Some protection needed. The finish will deteriorate just being outside, mine is on a covered porch, so it has some protection. Wood swells when moist, the lid on mine does not work properly any longer.

I don't know the wood. If I had to guess, I'd say pine. The top is vinyl, not leather.

It's made out of pressure treated pine. There is not stain or varnish/finished applied.

I have no idea what kind of wood it is, but it IS wood. I LOVE this thing! I even use it to mash avocados to make guacamole.

The wood does not appear to be treated with anything, however, I have had mine in my kitchen for over a year and see no problems. It has gotten wet, but as long as it is just wiped off appears to have no effect and I see no stains or changes. Suppose you could cover it with a polyurethane once you got it. Very pleased with mine.

Cotton. Not sure if it has been treated. No odor. Don't think the wood has been treated.

It appears be a veneer of eucalyptus. I said in my review that the wood has not held up well even though it's only outdoors in the summer and fall.

This wood is unfinished. I finished it with teak oil as I didn't want to stain it. It's outside on our patio and looks great after four or five months.

I bought the chair and swing this summer. The high humidity and weather changes do not seem to have been a problem. We are not planning on treating the set. The only piece that has changed is the table which is made of pine not cedar.

There is no finish on the wood. If I were to use this in a moist environment, I would treat it first.

The wood used, it seems, to be balsa wood. They have a base but are light weight.

Not sure. Looks like white oak or hickory. Hopi hard wood. Have dropped a few time with no damage unlike hard plastic that breaks. I use to ward off coyotes when walking dog. Works great!

I would not want to use this item outside. This type of wood I feel is too fragile and not treated for constant outdoor use.

This is made out of real wood. Bought ours it's very durable and a great value!
