Is the wood treated with any chemicals?

While they look natural, the package says they have a "smooth paint finish". Next, the container says it "conforms to the safety requirements of ASTM F963". The lid states "toxin free". The product is made in China.

Hello,We have checked with the manufacturer and they can't guarantee that it doesn't contain chemicals but they are not sure. It doesn't state for them what chemicals are used to produce their chairs.Thanks

I am not sure of what wood it is made out of because I ordered it and had it sent to my granddaughter in Sedona , Arizona. But since my son and daughter in law are into all things organic so I am sure it had no toxic paints or glue.

yes; though there is some sort of sealant, the wood is nice and I would not risk it.

I don't remember if it said it was weather treated so I used to 2 coats of Water Based wood stain and after 2 seasons it still looks like new!

I don't think it is. The wood was dry. I screwed it all together, and no moisture leeched out. I did find this in a search, if you did wanted to treat it. http://www.wayfair.com/Gronomics-Garden-Bed-Oil-GBO-1QC-NWO1032.html

Not sure if the lumber is treated but I am sure it could be stained. We use to move big pots around the yard.

There is a slight treated wood/varnish smell, but I have an extremely sensitive sense of smell. It dissipates within a day or two and it's not overpowering.

No, I don't think the lumber is treated, but I believe it can be stained. That's a good idea!

I've had mine for almost a year now, I use it in the shower every day; it hadn't occurred to me to pre-treat it with anything. And it looks the same as when I bought it; the wood is still beautiful.

Pressure treated wood should be treated throughout. I would not treat it again. Is there more to your situation that you are not telling us?

The wood isn't cedar....it's some kinda Chinese-what'sit but does have a resistance to rot, per the instruction booklet. It is recommended that it be treated every year...I figure on finding something safe for kids and then spraying it on with my pump sprayer...not a big job.

the wood inside inside sealed or treated so i don't recommend washing it with water. If you're looking for a good way to clean it out i suggest getting some canned air or a toothpick.

I'm not exactly sure... it's imported so probably camphor, which is similar to cedar. It has a strong odor but it dissipates quickly once out of the box. They used some type of sealant on the wood and that's probably what I smelled. Either way, I've had it a year and it's held up great.

Yes, but as with any cleaner, it'd be best to test it somewhere inconspicuous first.Not all wood finishes have the same durability. Particularly as this has to dwell for 10 minutes to disinfect, less durable finishes might not hold up.

I was concerned about the chemicals used in treated lumber. There is a paint that Home Depot sells called Porch and Floor paint. It works well on wood that you plan to leave outside. I used that on regular 2x4's and it is working well for me.

no it is not. Natural wood finish. It is made of plastic. I have had this for at least a year, and it still looks like new. I love it.
