I completely understand your concern about splinters—it’s a valid worry when choosing outdoor wooden furniture. At our factory, we prioritize both safety and durability through a rigorous multi-step sanding and sealing process.

First, every piece of wood is initially planed to remove rough edges and large imperfections. We then use progressive grit sandpaper—starting at 80-grit and moving up to 220-grit—to achieve a glass-smooth surface. This not only eliminates splinter potential but also prepares the wood for optimal sealant adhesion.

After sanding, we apply a professional-grade, weather-resistant sealant in two coats. The first coat penetrates deep into the grain to harden and stabilize the fibers, while the second, UV-resistant top coat creates a protective barrier against moisture, temperature swings, and physical wear. Each coat is allowed to cure fully under controlled humidity and temperature, ensuring the finish won’t bubble, crack, or peel.

We also conduct a final visual and tactile inspection of every bench—running gloved hands over the entire surface to feel for any remaining roughness or loose fibers. Bench models that encounter heavy rain or extreme climates are tested with accelerated aging to verify that the sealant remains integral over thousands of hours.

So yes, your bench will arrive splinter-free and ready for years of comfortable, worry-free use. If you have any further questions about our wood selection or finish warranties, please feel free to ask.
