Care and Maintenance
Wood Furniture
Wood displays different grain patterns depending on which way they cut, 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 side apron, 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
This trolley should be cleaned using a soft damp cloth and dried immediately.
Do not use a very wet cloth or allow any liquid to contact with the trolley for a long period of time as this can
permanently damage the surface especially any hot water.
Do not use any abrasive cleaner or harsh detergent as this can damage the surface of the trolley.
Do not drag any object across the trolley as this can cause permanent damage.
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 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.
This product complies with BS 4875-5: 2001
