WOOD CARES
A multi-step finish is applied to all our furniture, but all wood comes from nature.
Because of this, there will be natural variations in texture and grain like knots, mineral streaks and sap runs that may affect the finish. These differences in character are not defects, but distinctions that make each piece of furniture unique.
Our furniture is built to last. Following these steps for basic care should protect your investment for years to come.

- Dust frequently with a clean damp lint-free cloth. This will help remove abrasive buildup which can damage a finish over time.
- Occasionally use a light application of a high quality furniture polish to enhance the beauty of the fine finish. Avoid using oil polishes or waxes.
- Do not place hot objects on any furniture surface. Always use a hot plate when placing a warm pot on furniture. Laminated surfaces on table tops provide added scratch and heat resistance to our furniture, but they can still be damaged without proper care.
- Avoid exposing your furniture to strong sunlight, heat outlet, open windows or dampness. Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can fade the finish of your furniture, while extreme temperature and humidity changes can cause cracking or splitting.
- Remove stains immediately after spillage.
- Leave a gap of approximately 25mm between the wall and the back of your furniture. This will allow air flow and keep the wood at a more stable temperature, helping to prolong its life.
METAL CARES
- Wipe up spills immediately using a clean dry cloth.
- Clean regularly using a soft cloth and a diluted solution of mild detergent and warm water. Dry with a soft cloth.
- Do not use bleach or any detergent containing sulfuric or hydrochloric acid.
- Avoid the use of steel wool or scouring pads as these may scratch and damage the metal surface.
UPHOLSTERY CARES (FABRIC)
- Blot the stain with a clean, dry, white cloth, working from the outer edge to the center of the stain.
- Use a hair dryer on the lowest heat setting to evenly dry the fabric and prevent moisture rings.
- Vacuuming with an upholstery attachment between the fabric casings and cushions will help increase longevity.

- An annual professional cleaning will keep the fabric furniture looking its best.
