Frequently Asked Questions

We don't know if your patio furniture is worth restoring unless we can get our eyes on it. That's why sending us photos of your furniture using our Contact page is extremely helpful in determining the cost-effectiveness of restoring your outdoor furniture. Not all outdoor furniture is created equal and, based on original quality and value or extent of damage, sometimes restoration is not the best option. We're here to help you figure that out, we'll always be honest and we'll never push you to make a decision that doesn't make financial sense. But with the current nationwide patio furniture shortage, restoring the furniture you already have is a more viable option than ever.

If you're wondering if your existing cushions can be recovered instead of replaced, that depends on several factors. First is the age of the cushion. Typically, if your cushions are 10 years or older, the filling is likely reaching the end of its life. Second, if you have little to no actual foam and the cushions just collapse when you sit on them, then they would not be good candidates for recover. We can help you determine the best course of action to take.

We are proud to offer only the highest quality outdoor fabrics for your cushions or slings. While we do provide links to some of the choices, they should only be used for reference only. When you bring your furniture to our shop or when we come to you for pick up, we can show you physical samples of all your fabric options.

Due to the rigid manufacturing (welded tension bars) of some budget-friendly products, we are unable to replace the slings without altering the frame structure which presents potential safety concerns, therefore, they are not serviceable. We do not offer mail order slings. We do not service indoor furniture, painted wood furniture, camping/folding/director chairs, umbrellas, grills, fireplaces, patio heaters, ceiling fans, outdoor appliances and electronics, pools, fountains, concrete/tile floors, gazebos or patio structures. We can not replace or repair broken wicker/rattan, vinyl tubing or glass table tops. We do not convert furniture media from its original design (e.g., wicker to strap). We do not "paint" anything. We do not stock replacement parts for resale.

Below are examples of some things we do NOT fix:

Broken Wicker / Rattan                                                                                                                                                           Painted Wood

         

Camping / Director / Folding Chairs

         

Tubing / Intricate Patterns

   

Powder coat is dry powder that is applied electrostatically and cured under heat, creating a durable uniform coverage that can last 15 to 20 years if well cared for. Paint is applied wet and, in Arizona's harsh environment, typically only lasts 2 to 3 years before it starts to fade and flake away. There are enormous benefits of powder coating over painting, which is why we do not offer paint service. Home Advisor provides a great article explaining the differences between powder coat and paint.

The clock for our lead times starts from the date we received your goods and deposit and is defined as the amount time to complete the work. Pick up and delivery can add additional time, depending on how booked our pick up and delivery schedule is. Due to ongoing supply chain issues outside of our control, we at times may need to extend our lead times. If a fabric or other material is on back order or if we have to order direct from a major manufacturer, it could take longer and we do our best to keep our customers informed of additional delays. For sling orders where stock fabric is selected, we can typically get those orders completed in about 6 weeks. While we do our best to meet invoice due dates, our lead times are estimates and not a guarantee by a specific date.

When an order is finished, we try to get delivery scheduled within the next 2 weeks. If we're not delivering, we do expect items to be picked up within 2 weeks. Due to our limited storage capacity, anything we need to hold on to beyond that 2 week window will be charged a daily storage fee of $10.00.

We do provide pick up and delivery within the Phoenix metropolitan area and surrounding communities. There is a moderate delivery charge based on your location. For other areas in Arizona, we still do offer pick up and delivery, but the cost may be significant and there may be long waits until we are able to make the trip.

Customer satisfaction is our top priority, so we are proud to offer a 2-year warranty from the original purchase date on the following services:

• Our in-house made slings are protected against failed stitching or popping out of the frame (see exclusions below). 
• Cushions are protected against failed stitching and broken zippers.
• Vinyl straps are protected against tearing or popping out of the frame. 
• Powder coat finishes are protected against flaking or peeling (see exclusions below). 
• New table tops are protected against peeling and cracking.

Exclusions

Our warranty excludes any plastic parts such as foot glides or sling rail caps. We do not personally warranty pre-made slings ordered from major furniture manufacturers. See below for manufacturer-specific warranties. Our powder coat warranty does not cover scratches, abrasions, dents, dings, water stains, oxidation, corrosion (including pitting and rust) or mineral deposits. This includes any of these conditions that exist PRIOR to the powder coat application. No warranty is offered on teak restoration.

Brown Jordan Replacement Slings

If the fabric on a sling becomes unserviceable due to color or strength loss from normal usage and exposure conditions, including sunlight and atmospheric chemicals within five (5) years of the date of purchase, we will repair or replace the fabric in the original color and pattern if available, or in a similar color and pattern if the original has been discontinued. This warranty does not cover normal care and cleaning, damage from misuse or abuse, improper installation, or costs associated with replacement of the fabric, including labor and installation. Mildew and mold grow on dirt, pollen and other organic matter; so simple routine cleanings will prevent them from forming on fabrics. Any failures in stitching, zippers, sling rails, cording, buttons, cushion foam or other areas of workmanship will be warrantied for one year. The fabric will not be warrantied if deterioration, discoloration, fading, etc. is due to chemicals, cleaning products, sun lotions et al, use in commercial settings, extreme heat or sunlight.

Powder coated finish, frame, ribs, finial, tilt, cord, crank handle, housing, canopy and rib pocket seams. If a defect in the original material or workmanship appears during the warranty period on any Treasure Garden product; Treasure Garden, at its option, will repair or replace the product without charge. 

Limited Warranty Fabric (Furniture Grade):

• 4 years - O'bravia®

The Limited Warranty only applies to TG products purchased directly from Treasure Garden, Inc. and its affiliates, or an authorized TG retail Dealer, as defined in our Terms and Conditions; the Limited Warranty is not transferrable. Should the Purchaser or Owner sell the TG product to another party, the warranty will not transfer to the new owner.

What Is NOT Covered:

Failure caused by unreasonable or abusive use, or failure caused by neglect of reasonable and necessary care, and any modification to product are not covered by this warranty.

Additionally, acts of nature (including but not limited to wind, hurricanes, tornadoes, and storms) are not covered by this warranty. This warranty covers return freight of any warranted product only for the first year. This warranty gives you specific legal rights and you may have other rights which vary from state to state.

Closeout and promotional items sold by the dealer as is are not covered by this warranty.

Wind Damage:

Treasure Garden highly recommends that no umbrella, regardless of size or weight, ever be left unattended in the open position. In windy conditions, it is further recommended that umbrellas be closed, removed from their base, and stored or laid horizontally. This will reduce the risk of personal injury, damage to your umbrella, furniture, and other belongings or property. To ensure stability of your umbrella, please observe proper placement, and use sufficient base weight. The catalog contains minimal recommendations for necessary weight for each style. Keep umbrella properly secured to umbrella base at all times. Thoroughly read and follow all provided instruction manuals.

WIND DAMAGE IS NOT COVERED UNDER OUR LIMITED WARRANTY.

Irregularities in Production Process:

The possibility of "Irregularities" in the product surface may occur during the production process. However, these irregularities do not reduce the quality of the product. Treasure Garden monitors every stage of production to ensure a clean and consistent appearance on every part.

Rust:

Rust is a natural part of the aging process of all Steel or Iron based materials and is therefore NOT considered a defect. Treasure Garden Cast Iron & Steel plate bases are designed to require minimum maintenance. Bases should be kept clean.

Do not let dirt build up on the bases. Cleaning with mild soap and water, and seasonal touch-up of any scratches, chips or occasional rust seepage from crevices or hidden, un-finishable surfaces inherent in some designs is all that is required. Touch Up paint in matching frame colors are available through your retail dealer. Never leave bases standing in water. To keep your bases looking their best, you may wish to store them when not in use for an extended period of time.

Seaside and Indoor Pool Usage: 

CAUTION: Seaside, salt water pools and indoor pool use, salt & chlorides can accumulate on the powder coat finish, leading to finish failure. Failure or neglect to make needed cleaning may cause paint to blister, and such failure will void limited warranty.

International Returns:

If an item is found to be under warranty Treasure Garden shall only be responsible for ground shipping charges to the location of the product within the continental United States. Any duties, express, international or special shipping charges are at the expense of the retail dealer or consumer.

NO RETURNS ON CUSTOM, VALANCE OR DESIGNER CANOPY STYLE UMBRELLAS.

THE SELLER DISCLAIMS ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY.

There's no such thing as universal parts when it comes to outdoor furniture. Every manufacturer has unique parts that vary even within their collections. For this reason, we are unable to stock parts for resale. If you are looking for things like sling rail caps, foot glides, glider bearing arms, rocker spring plates, swivel chair seat post bushings, umbrella hole rings and many other outdoor furniture parts, check out Patio Furniture Supplies.

We do not offer mail order slings. Our experience has shown that most people who try to replace slings themselves end up seeking assistance in finishing the job. Therefore, to provide the best customer experience, we only sell slings with full installation. If you still want to attempt installing slings yourself, you can order them online from Patio Furniture Restorations.

When thinking about how Patio Furniture Rescue benefits the environment, the most important aspect is that we’re helping the landfills. Without our restoration service, people would be throwing their old outdoor furniture out and buying new. For our deep cleaning service, we use all biodegradable cleaners and limit the use of our power washer for rinse only. Our equipment is rated at 2.3 GPM water use and is high velocity which performs more conservatively and efficiently compared to less powerful equipment. All items are cleaned by hand and brush scrubbed. The work is always performed away from plants, vegetation, trees, etc. For our frame restoration service, we use powder coat which is low VOC, is non-toxic, does not require special handling or disposal and excess sprayed powder can be recycled. Powder coating is a sustainable process that meets the spirit of LEED by reducing the environmental impacts related to harmful volatiles in airborne emissions. It also holds up a lot better than standard "wet" paints, which translates to less frequent application. Our top outdoor fabric brands are Sunbrella and Phifertex which are both committed to sustainability, eliminating waste and are GREENGUARD certified. Our table top sealer is high endurance, low maintenance and easily cleaned with a cloth and warm water without the use of household or harsh cleaners. The solution we use is not classified as a hazardous waste under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act or its regulations, 40 CFR §261 et seq.
