As most wood is absorbent, it’s important to dust your wood furniture often to prevent particles from building up and becoming ingrained in the surface layer. Furniture should be wiped clean with a damp cloth then dried using a soft, lint-free duster. Avoid sprays and silicone wipes and polishes as these can leave marks and residues, and abrasive cleaners as these may scratch your wood furniture.

Wood is a natural product, so it’s perfectly normal to have knots that may be filled. No two pieces of veneer or solid timber are the same and will vary in shade. All timber surfaces will change colour and mellow over time. New furniture will initially vary in shade from any items purchased earlier.

Never move or carry an extending table while the extension leaves are in use – always return the table to its unextended position first. And remember that inserting or removing the extra leaves of an extending table is a two-person job. To prevent injury and property damage from unexpected tipping of furniture, we highly recommend installation of anti-tip kits, if supplied with your furniture and for any piece of furniture over 600mm in height. As hardware may loosen overtime, periodically check that all connections are tight, and re-tighten as necessary.
