General Care Advice - please read carefully
We would recommend that you protect this furniture from spills - any spillage should be removed
immediately to avoid staining by using a damp cloth, then wiping dry the surface with a clean dry
duster. Repeat this procedure for periodic cleaning. The use of furniture polishes or sprays is not
necessary or recommended.
Wood is a beautiful natural material. It is important to understand its unique properties which
should not be mistaken for flaws.
Each piece will have a slightly different grain pattern. Variation in colour, shading and grain
between different products and within the same product can occur. This is a normal feature of all
natural wood furniture.
Take care when moving furniture, dragging pieces across the floor will damage the joints.
Take care to prevent sharp objects e.g. toys, buckles and heels form coming into contact
with your furniture, and avoid contact with chemicals e.g. cosmetics or hair products which
may permanently mark the surface.
Avoid exposing your furniture to direct and prolonged periods of sunlight and heat sources
as fading or cracking may result.
Furniture wax should never be considered a protective finish, but rather as a protective
barrier, providing added wax protection to a finish or substrate from such things as moisture,
dust and airborne pollutants. We have all seen water bead up on the hood of a car. Wax on
furniture does the same thing. However, if water is left to stand on a waxed surface, it will
eventually penetrate the wax and possibly affect the finish and wood. Remember, wax is not a
protective finish but a barrier coat that will allow you a little more time to clean up a spill. Wax
also provides scratch resistance and protection from dust, in that it creates a barrier between
the finish and the dust cloth.
If your furniture becomes stained, scratched chipped or suffers other damage we would
recommend professional help is sought to restore it.
Periodically check that there are no loose screws on the unit.
