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
