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 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
luster.
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
Safety Instructions
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 insalled or assembled furniture.
Specific warning for hevy items:
It is recommended that before moving heavy objects to a new location they are completely dis-assembled to
avoid personal injury or damage to the furniture. Please be careful to retain all fittings when doing this.
