What can I use on the chairs to keep the current look and color?

I purchased from Lowe's "Cabot's gloss varnish".....I just asked the sales person what will be shiny and stand up in weather. It's very glossy but I really wanted the color to hold up to the elements. Warning....use a mask and safety glasses applying it because it has a very strong scent. I think they look great! Good luck!

We used Teak Oil and Amazon makes one available which we used with success as we wanted to keep the fresh new look. the brand was Meguiars. However, you can also pick up teak oil at a good hardware or shipping supply store. It is easy to apply and if you do every year or so it lasts for years and years. I think better than coating with varathane etc. because it does prevent sun damage.

I have used Scan Care clean & feed a professional type teak oil. Works well on wooden surfaces.

The chairs we got were a stained teak color. Somewhat more chocolate than a normal walnut finish. We are using them with a walnut table and they don't quite match but come close.

A standard desk/ table chair will work. We are refinishing an old kitchen chair and painting it white to match.

I bought a dark brown leather couch that matches chair legs and "swirls" on chair. It was easier then to buy couch pillows to match.

We have 3 distinct outdoor rooms of furniture from black wicker, to brown black to dark brown. For us the color combinations work very well; likely the Strathwood with the chocolate brown will work well for you.

These chair are not really leather, which you cannot tell. Use Murphy oil soap or leather soap.

These are beautiful natural cedar chairs. They deserve a natural oil finish. Look for a natural clear finish (probably oil-based) that will soak in, preserve the wood, and it will dry with a beautiful gold wood colored finish that preserves the grain.

I already had a table to match. Therefore I just researched the chairs. Cannot tell you much more than that.

Probably from the Boss chair company. Lowe's should have something that would work too.Furniture restoration stores should be able to help. I didn't buy any...didn't need to.

I use lemon pledge but there are a variety of products to use. Google: preserving wood furniture.

I have had my chair for about 2 years and it has not discolored. I use window cleaner, and it works just fine!

yes, I am using blue. Don't put the rocks they gave you in there if you are going to switch. They have a lot of dust and are scratchy. However they look nice with the color of the chairs - same color and I think they hold the heat better. I love this set. I had a lot of cedar on the deck and didn't want to mix wood so the metal look is good, the chairs are comfy and rock back, nice very nice.

There are some wood color variations in my chair, but it's not so great a difference as to be distracting or a problem for us. I do want to say that my wife and I just noticed the other day that our two daughters have been using the chairs to sit at the dining table for nearly six years! They are 7 and 10 now and still love them. The best part is the adjustable foot rest so their legs don't dangle. Thanks.

I personally don't know of any products that will work for "white" faux leather that will make it "stain resistant." Since the chairs are not a true leather, they are not treated the same as leather. The materials are completely different. Scotchguard does make a 3M leather protector, but all the research I did states that vinyl stains can be cleaned with soft soaps like dish detergent, but it also says white vinigar works too. But these answers are post-stain, & unfortunately I don't know of a pre-stain treatment. Maybe google e-how: how to pre-treat & protect faux leather. Hope this helps.

You could, though I have not applied anything. The chair has been on our front porch, and has withstood quite a bit of weather, with no noticeable fading or cracking. Very durable!

I think they match beautifully. I bought them both. Just so you know... the finish on the table was super thin. I put 2 coats of polyurethane on the table and the seats of the chairs to make them last. I love both and would buy them again.

There are metal angle clips on the underside of the horizontal braces at the connection to the chair legs. They are chrome color but they do not stand out too much.
