3 Reasons We Chose ACRE for Our Outdoor Collection

When designing our outdoor furniture collection, we knew we needed to be thoughtful when choosing the materials. With exposure to UV rays, moisture, insects, and other environmental factors, the solid hardwoods we normally use aren't the best fit. While researching materials, our team came across ACRE™ by Modern Mill. ACRE is manufactured in Fernwood, Mississippi from sustainable materials and has superb resistance to all those environmental factors we were concerned about. It's a great outdoor replacement for wood as its brushed appearance and ability to hold stain give it a similar look and feel.
