Know before you buy
While the teak frame and Barriere textile are designed to be weather-resistant, it is best practice to store the cushion indoors during harsh winter months or prolonged periods of heavy rain to extend its lifespan. The teak frame will naturally weather to a silver-grey patina if left exposed to the elements.
The cover is designed for easy maintenance. You can typically spot clean the fabric with a mild soap and water solution, or remove the cover to machine wash it according to the care instructions provided with the product.
Fossflakes are specifically engineered to maintain their volume and support, even after repeated use. They provide a plush, down-like feel that resists clumping and flattening, ensuring the pouf remains comfortable as both a footstool and extra seating.
The teak is left in its natural state to showcase the wood's inherent durability and high oil content, which helps it resist decay. You can choose to apply teak oil if you prefer to maintain the original warm, golden-brown color, or let it age naturally to a soft grey.
Yes, the solid teak frame provides a sturdy, stable base that supports the weight of an adult comfortably. Its dimensions make it a versatile piece that functions equally well as a footrest or as a low-profile seat for outdoor gatherings.
