Troubleshooting
Product arrives with minor imperfections
Small variations in metalwork are common and contribute to the unique character of handcrafted items. If significant damage occurred during transit, please contact customer support.
Bare metal finish rusting too quickly or unevenly
Natural rusting is expected and varies based on environmental conditions (humidity, rain). If excessive or unwanted rusting occurs, consider applying a metal sealant designed for outdoor use.
Coated finish chipping or peeling
This is rare but can happen due to impact or harsh weather. Clean the affected area, lightly sand if necessary, and apply a suitable outdoor metal paint or touch-up kit.
Jute twine fraying
Jute is a natural fiber and will degrade over time, especially outdoors. For extended durability, consider replacing the jute twine with a weather-resistant cord or chain.

Care:
