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 veneer also allows 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 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 lustre.
Spray polishes are best avoided as they contain silicones which may spoil the furniture’s surface by
building up over time.
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.

Safety Instructions
Never drag furniture when moving it. Always lift it.
Periodically check all fixings to ensure none have come loose and re-tighten when 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. Any assembly should be carried out by a
competent adult.
No liability will be accepted for damage or injury caused by incorrectly installed or assembled furniture.
During assembly, children should be kept away from the product due to possible risk of injury.
Do not use this item if any components are missing or damaged.
It is recommended that care is taken when moving heavy objects to a new location to avoid
personal injury or damage to the furniture. Please be careful to retain all fittings when doing this.
Children are likely to play, bounce, jump and climb on furniture, therefore the furniture should not be
placed too close to other furniture or windows, blind cords, curtain pulls or other strings or cords and
should be placed either tight to any wall or have a gap of 300mm between the wall and the side of
the bed.
This product complies with BS 8509:2008+A1:2011.
