Wood Furniture
Wood displays different grain patterns depending on which way they are cut - for example, ‘the medullary ray’
which can appear on oak furniture as a mark of good quality timber - these are just characteristics of the natural
beauty of the wood. Some furniture is also deliberatley aged and rustic.
Wood veneers also allow distintive 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 prieviously purchased.
How to care for your wood furniture
Furniture with a hard laquer, 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 sillicones which may spoil the furniture by building up over
time.
Our furniture will endure most temperatures in teh home but it is best to avoid placing furniture next to heat
sources such as radiators or fires. be particulary careful with solid wood as the lack of humidity caused by central
heating can cause damage such as warping.
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 competant 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
