Assembly should be carried out by a competent person. No liability will be
accepted for damage or injury caused by incorrectly installed or assembled
furniture.

vulnerable when struck from the side.
Care Instructions
Wood Furniture
Wood displays different grain patterns depending on which way they 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
the wood. Some furniture is also deliberately aged and rustic.
Wood veneers also allow distinctive patterns to be created on flat surfaces, such as table tops and drawer fronts by the way the slivers are arranged.
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 or painted furniture
Furniture with a hard lacquer, wax polish or painted surface should be dusted
with a dry cloth.
Waxed furniture will need to be given a coat of beeswax a couple of times a year to help maintain its luster. Spray polishes are best avoided as they contain silicones which may spoil the furniture’s surface by building up over time.
Make sure all surfaces are protected from heat and liquids by mats and coasters. Wipe up spills immediately and ensure that a mat or pad is placed under paper if you are writing.
Extendable dining tables should be left extended for the first few months to avoid an uneven appearance. Likewise, lamps and ornaments should also be moved regularly.
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.
Glass and acrylic furniture
Use glass cleaner or soapy water for cleaning, do not use anything abrasive as
this may damage the surface of the product.
Protect surfaces from scratches and marks by using mats and coasters.
Metal and leather
Protect leather from spillage, sunlight and heat. A slightly damp cloth is the
best cleaning agent for both materials. Do not use any abrasive cleaner or
harsh detergent as this can damage the surface. Care for the leather with
leather conditioner. We recommend applying leather conditioner before using
the furniture for the first time.
Avoid spilling or dropping crumbs of food with a high fat content on the surface as this can permanently mark the leather.
Your feedback is very important to us and we would love to hear your comments on your new furniture. Please visit our website to leave a review. Thank you.
