Care and Maintenance
The Essence range has been sourced by John Lewis from the finest American Oak and each
piece has been carefully constructed to ensure it will give you years of pleasure. The natural
characteristics of this oak range may include small cracks, knots, blemishes and grain pattern
variations which all add to the natural charm and beauty of this furniture product. Each piece is
unique, and for this reason no two pieces within the range will perfectly match, however there
will be harmony between all the pieces you may have purchased.
