  • What is the relationship between RIO and the Skin Cancer Foundation?

    RIO products have been developed not only to look great, but also to offer protection against harmful UV rays. Many RIO products offer over 50+ UPF and have been recommended by the Skin Cancer Foundation as excellent, high quality products aimed at protecting you from harmful UVA/UVB rays.

  • Why are RIO products so popular?

    RIO products are popular because they are developed thoughtfully and carefully. We source high quality materials and each year we conduct research to determine the best patterns and color schemes for our products. These are printed double sided, so the colors and patterns remain long lasting and vibrant season after season, even after repeated sun exposure and sea salt exposure. Our products are also designed thoughtfully, aiming to provide consumers with a great and comfortable experience. Product design is at the heart of our manufacturing process, and ergonomic design is essential in making RIO stand out.

  • Are there weight limits on your outdoor chairs and camping chairs?

    Yes. Our seating products are tested and we typically indicate the seat weight capacity in the product specifications on our website or within the product manuals.

  • What kind of wood is used for your patio furniture?

    Much of our outdoor wood patio and backyard furniture is made from sturdy and durable FSC Acacia wood that features a durable polyurethane finish. We aim to responsibly source the wood materials we use to manufacture our wooden furniture, and we protect the furniture from wear and tear thanks to the polyurethane paint finish.

  • Will the metal and steel parts on your products rust?

    We aim at making a high-quality product, and although over time you will see a general wear and tear, we have carefully chosen raw materials that will stand up to corrosion and rust. We source stainless steel, aluminum and metals that have a protective finish to ensure rust and corrosion resistance.
