Care and maintenance
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 furniture
Furniture with a painted surface or hard lacquer should be dusted with a dry
cloth.
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.
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
Protect surfaces from scratches and marks by using mats and coasters.
Safety instructions
Never drag furniture when moving it, always lift it.
Periodically check all fixings to ensure none have come loose and re-tighten
where necessary.
Please take care when handling or moving the furniture as careless handling
may cause damage or injury.
Furniture can be dangerous if incorrectly installed. 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.
Retain these instructions for future reference.
