Wood Furniture

Wood displays different grain patterns depending on which way it is cut - for example, the ‘medullary ray’ which 
can appear on oak furniture is a mark of good quality timber - these are just characteristics of the natural beauty 
of wood. Some furniture is also deliberately aged and rustic.

All timber surfaces will change colour and mellow over time. New furniture will initially vary in shade from items 
that have been previously purchased.

How to care for your wood furniture

Furniture with a hard lacquer, wax polish or painted surface should be dusted with a dry cloth. When using the 
surface for serving food and drinks it is best to use protective mats and coasters. Spillages should be wiped up as 
soon as possible.

Spray polishes are best avoided as they contain silicones which may spoil the furniture’s surface by building up 
over time. Use of cleaning materials containing abrasive compounds, acidic or caustic reagents and any bleaches 
containing oxidising reagents should be avoided as prolonged use may damage the lacquer surface.

Wipe up spills immediately. If sticky marks occur on the surface they can be removed with a dilute solution of 
warm soapy water. The offending area should be rubbed lightly and then completely dried immediately afterwards, 
before replacing any mats etc.

Our furniture will endure most temperatures in the home but it is best to avoid placing furniture next to heat 
sources such as radiators or fires. Be particularly careful with solid wood as the lack of humidity caused by central 
heating can cause damage such as warping.

Safety Instructions

Never drag furniture when moving it, always lift it. Please take care when handling or moving the furniture 
as careless handling may cause damage or injury. No liability will be accepted for damage or injury caused by 
incorrectly installed furniture.
