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
