Timber

A natural feature of solid timber is its size, varying colours, grains and textures. Splits and cracks may develop as it responds to the environment and these are not to be considered a fault or flaw and will not compromise the construction of any furniture we make.

As timber is a natural material, we will choose the best boards from our pack of timber to suit the specifications on your invoice in relation to finish and size.  We will not replace or refund an item if the colour, degree of feature in the timber or final sizing does not meet your expectations.

As a standard dining tables are an average height of 73cm to 76cm and we will do our best to achieve the height as stated on your invoice without too much variation.

Care Instructions – Timber and Concrete

To protect your furniture, we suggest the following:

  • Avoid placing your furniture in direct sunlight.
  • Arrange your furniture so it is not adjacent to heating or air conditioning outlets.
  • Do not place furniture directly under windows.
  • Do not place plastic materials (lamp bases, ornaments, cloths) directly onto your furniture as certain plastics contain ingredients that may react with and damage the finish.
  • Protective padding is strongly recommended when using your furniture as a writing surface, especially when using a pencil , ballpoint pen, textas or paints. 
  • Clean up spills immediately. Water left over a prolonged period of time may cause damage. Alcohol, wine, perfume, texts, paint, nail polishes, aftershave and some medications may cause severe finish damage if not cleaned immediately.
  • Polish your furniture every four months using the Osmo wax spray. Use a clean, soft, dry, lint free absorbent cloth, rubbing the polish in the direction of the grain. Do not use polishes that are silicone based, due to the difficulty of removing residue should repair or refinishing become necessary. 

Please read out Timber Care instructions page for a more detailed description on how to care for your table.
