Product Care for Timber Items
As our timber is supplied from sustainable forests there will be natural variations in surface
texture and grain like knots, mineral streaks and sap runs that may affect the finish. These
differences in character are not defects, but distinctions that make each piece of furniture
unique.
Our furniture is built to last. Following these steps for basic care should protect your
investment for years to come.
•
Dust frequently with a clean damp lint-free cloth. This will help remove abrasive build
up which can damage a finish over time.
•
Do not place hot objects on any furniture surface. Always use a hot plate or placemat.
Laminate and lacquer finishes on table tops provide added scratch and heat resistance to
our furniture, but they can still be damaged without proper care.
•
Avoid exposing your furniture to strong sunlight, heat outlet, open windows or
dampness. Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can fade the finish of your furniture,
while extreme temperature and humidity changes can cause cracking or splitting.
•
Do not expose your furniture to any liquids. Never allow water to sit on your furniture.
Alcohol, nail polish and perfume are also dangerous as they will dissolve the lacquer finish
on contact and may require professional repairs.
•
Do not allow plastic to come in direct contact with your furniture. Chemicals in the
plastic of placemats etc. may soften and mark the finish if left in contact with the furniture
for a period of time.
