CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Timber
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
