Wood Shading and Colour

Nature causes timber surfaces to change color over time. Variation in grain and shading is normal, creating unique characters. New furniture may differ slightly in shade from existing pieces.

Leveling, Assembly, and Moving Products

Ensure furniture is on a level surface. Use adjustable feet to prevent rocking. When moving products, lift them instead of dragging to avoid damage. Tighten fixings and joints periodically.

Sunlight and Heat

Avoid direct sunlight as it can change the color of the furniture. Keep a minimum 30cm clearance from heat sources. Use coasters to protect surfaces from hot dishes and cups. Avoid prolonged exposure to heat.

Expansion and Timber Movement

Avoid extreme temperatures or damp environments to prevent product issues related to expansion and movement.

Maintenance and Care Instructions

Cleaning: Dust regularly with a soft cloth. Wipe occasionally with a damp cloth using a mild detergent solution. Use beeswax furniture polish from reputable suppliers. Remove spills immediately with a dry white cloth.

Care:

Avoid silicone-based polishes to prevent build-up. For routine cleaning or staining, use specialist cleaners following instructions carefully.

Mango wood is strong, sturdy, and has an effortlessly stunning appearance. The appearance of the timber is naturally smooth. No two pieces of Mango are alike, which makes your item of furniture special to you. Some of the items within the range are self-assembly. Assembly is very simple, with detailed assembly instructions supplied with the furniture.

WOOD SHADING AND COLOUR

Nature doesn’t stand still and all timber surfaces will change colour and mellow over time. Variation in grain, shading and colour between different products and with the same product creates individual characters. New furniture may vary in shade from existing pieces with the same range.

LEVELLING, ASSEMBLY AND MOVING PRODUCTS

• Furniture performs best on a level surface. Items have adjustable feet, to make sure the products do not rock. If the product is moved, levels should be rechecked, adjustment of the feet or the use of wedges can assist if the floor is not level.
• Take care when moving products. We recommend they are lifted by two persons as dragging items across the floor will cause damage to the item.
• Items should be assembled at the intended location and lifted carefully into position.
• From time to time the fixings and joints may require tightening to prevent loosening which can create squeaks and movement.
• Items with doors have adjustable hinges, so doors can be squared. Follow the instructions included with your furniture if adjustment is necessary.

SUNLIGHT AND HEAT

• Direct sunlight will cause the colour of the product to change, especially if the furniture is placed near a window. Use in hot and sunny conservatories is not recommended.
• Leaving items such as vases or ornaments in one place on a piece of furniture in sunlight may leave a mark when it is removed. Such marks should blend with time.
• Avoid exposing your furniture to excessive heat as this can cause issues with the finish of the product. A minimum 30cm clearance from heat sources such as radiators is advised
• Never place hot dishes and cups directly on to surface, we recommend you use tablemats and coasters.
• Prolonged use of hot equipment, such as a laptop, on top of furniture may also cause scorching.
• Dark rubber feet used on some equipment may occasionally contain chemicals that can permanently mark surfaces so care should be taken.

EXPANSION AND TIMBER MOVEMENT

We do not recommend locating products in excessively high or low temperatures, or where the environment is often damp as this may cause product issues

MAINTENANCE AND CARE INSTRUCTIONS

CLEANING

• Regularly dust with a soft cloth and occasionally wipe with a soft cloth very lightly dampened with a mild, bleach free detergent solution and dry with a lint-free cloth.
• Beeswax furniture polish from a reputable supplier may be used, however, the repeated use of a polish containing silicone is not recommended as it will lead to a build-up of a silicone film altering the appearance.
• Follow cleaning instructions carefully, spills should be removed immediately by blotting with a dry white cloth, especially fatty or oily substances. If the spillage causes staining or the piece requires routine cleaning, we recommend a specialist cleaner

CARE

• Never place hot dishes or mugs directly on to surfaces, always use tablemats or coasters.
• Do not drop furniture onto corners or feet or lean backwards on two legs as this will weaken and damage frames, feet or legs.
• Prevent sharp objects such as toys, buckles and heels from coming into contact with your furniture.
• Avoid exposure to water or excessive sun to prolong the life of the product.
• Avoid contact with chemicals such as hair and skin preparations, fake tans, insect repellents and other cosmetics, or household cleaning materials, other than those recommended as these may affect the finish.
• If your furniture becomes soiled, scratched, chipped or suffers other damage we recommend professional help is sought to restore it.
• Following the guidelines above will ensure product performance is maintained. Laura James is not responsible for defects caused by the misuse of your product
