Description
Handcrafted in the USA from northern white cedar. Ships flat-packed by UPS/FedEx, usually within 1–2 business days when in stock. Free shipping.
The Cedar Log Visa-Tete seats two people facing each other — the classic S-curve configuration that puts conversation at the center of the design rather than side-by-side viewing. Built from 100% Northern White Cedar, the same naturally rot and insect resistant wood our has used in Edmore, Michigan since 1923. Contoured seat slats on both sides. Mortise and tenon joints at the structural connections throughout. Galvanized exterior hardware. A conversation piece in both senses: a piece designed around conversation, built from material that holds up long enough to have a lot of it.
Why Northern White Cedar Over Chinese Fir
A piece this size and at this price point has a longer expected lifespan than a basic chair — or should. Most outdoor furniture sold in the vis-a-vis or tete-a-tete configuration uses imported wood, typically Chinese fir, which looks acceptable in product photos and costs less to produce but isn't rot-resistant. In outdoor conditions it breaks down in 1 to 3 years. Northern White Cedar is genuinely rot and insect resistant, holds fasteners tightly over time, and lasts 10 to 20 years under normal outdoor conditions. A piece that lasts two seasons doesn't justify its price. A piece that lasts fifteen does.
Placement and Pairing
The Visa-Tete works on a covered porch, a deck, or a garden setting where the piece can anchor a defined sitting area. The S-curve configuration is naturally self-contained — it defines a conversation space without additional arrangement. Finish as you prefer: leave the Northern White Cedar to weather gradually to silver-grey, or apply a penetrating oil, stain, or paint. Coordinates across the Contoured Comfort collection with rocking chairs, lounge chairs, ottomans, and end tables.
