Plywood furniture
Wood displays dierent grain patterns depending
on which way it is cut. Plywood is made from
layered sheets and therefore the edges can vary
in colour and grain pattern. Plywood can have
small holes within the layers of birch wood due
to knots falling out. Some knots remain and are
coloured black. However, all edges are sealed to
stop moisture getting in.
All timber surfaces will change colour and mellow
over time. New furniture will initially vary in shade
from items that have been previously purchased.
Laminate can fade over time.
Not for outdoor use.
How to care for your furniture
Furniture with a laminate should be dusted with a
slightly-damp, soft cloth and wiped dry to remove
fingerprints and dirt.
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 excessive liquid. Wipe spills dry immediately.
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 plywood as the lack
of humidity caused by central heating can cause
damage such as warping.
Note
This information is intended only as a general
guide. For severe scratches or stains, and
anything else not listed, it is recommended that
you contact an experienced trades person.
General warnings
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.
