Chair and Stool Care
We take great care to design and source high quality furniture, there
are a few things for you to consider to keep it looking its best.
Here are our top tips:
Be aware of the environment. Sunlight, heat sources, pets,
humidity, etc. can all affect the performance and longevity of
furniture. Selecting the right materials for the right setting will
ensure yours is the right fit.
Keep it clean. Light, regular cleaning will increase the lifespan
of your furniture.
Protect your floor and protect your furniture with floor
protectors, coasters, stain protection etc. Heat and moisture are
generally not furniture’s best friend so keep them separate where
possible or ensure furniture is protected.
Stay centred. Use the centre of the seat rather than the arms or
back of sofas, for example, and don’t lean or rock on chairs and
stools.
Our team will always be happy to answer any questions you may have
about a particular item.
DELIVERY & ASSEMBLY
When opening the packaging please take extreme care for personal and
product safety. We recommend against the use of blades.
Having unpacked your furniture, check that it is complete and all
parts are present. Please note, the feet for certain products may be
found in the zip pocket underneath the suite. Ensure all fittings have
been removed before disposing of packaging. Ensure children are
supervised during unpacking and assembly of furniture and kept away from
all hazards.
For ‘self-assembly’ furniture, read the assembly instructions before
starting. Identify the parts of your furniture and follow the assembly
sequence. Avoid use of force when assembling parts and be careful not to
over tighten fittings during assembly. To avoid damage during assembly,
use the appropriate tools and work on a surface covered by a protective
layer.
In rooms with delicate floors, consider additional protection under
your furniture e.g. felt pads or glides.
Assembly and installation must be done in accordance with
instructions. Failure to follow assembly instructions may result in poor
performance of your product and/or void your warranty. If instructions
are not followed, we decline any liability in the event of damage caused
to people or property because of incorrect installation.
Leather Care Tips
Leather is a natural product can vary in look and appearance, it will
stretch and develop ‘comfort creases’ with use. Leather furniture rarely
retains its new look, cushions will soften and relax their shape with
regular use, making them even more comfortable. This adds to the
character of leather over the years. It has natural markings, from
variation of shade and tone, healed scars and scratches, to skin
‘stretch marks’ and insect bites. By no means should these be considered
a defect; nor will they affect the durability of your piece. Such
‘imperfections’ are your assurance that you have true leather hide.
Leather is highly resilient and over time develops a patina that
increasingly enhances its appeal. Also keep in mind, grain patterns and
colouring of leather will vary from hide to hide and within the same
hide, making leather all the more interesting and unique.
Some medications and cancer treatments can cause damage to leather
through perspiration. Some medications specify this, if unsure consult
your health care professional. Chemicals and oils, including hairspray
and hair products, can also cause damage to leather. Avoid spraying
household cleaners near leather. It is highly recommended to not let
your pets on leather lounge suites as perspiration and body fluids will
damage the leather and invalidate your warranty.
Only use recommended leather cleaners and test in an obscure area
first. Avoid abrasives, harsh chemicals, saddle soap, leather cleaners
that contain any oils, soaps or detergents, or common household cleaners
on leather furniture. Aniline and Nubuk leathers require particular
care, as they lack a protective coating. Only use products specifically
designed for these types of finishes and follow instructions carefully.
Improper cleaning may void your leather furniture warranty. Contact a
leather cleaning specialist straight away for spills and marks that
cannot be removed.
Fabric Care Tips
To maintain the appearance and condition of your fabric, it is useful
to develop a regular maintenance routine.
Do:
Treat spills and stains as soon as possible.
Gently scrape any soil from the surface of the fabric without
scrubbing.
Apply recommended cleaning products strictly according to
instructions.
Consider an annual professional clean to keep your upholstered
furniture looking its best.
Do not:
Saturate fabric with water or other cleaning liquids.
Machine wash cushion covers unless confirmed the covers are
machine washable
Pilling is a normal occurrence for some fabrics and does not affect
the durability or functionality of the fabric. It is important to note
that pilling is not a fabric defect or fault and will reduce once the
excess fibres are removed which can be done with a battery-operated
pilling tool.
The surface of any fabric will wear; however this should not be taken
as an indication that material is worn out.
WOOD CARE & MAINTENANCE
Characteristics of wood: Solid timber is a natural and live product.
Although the surface you are looking at may be flat, it is made from a
circular tree trunk. Consequently, the grain will change along and
across the boards used – and will be different to the board beside it.
This will show tonal variation which will include lines, flecks, knots
and swirls. The fact the grain is changing direction also means that it
can look different when viewed from different directions.
This variation in grain will also effect on the way the timber
responds. Movement can occur in very humid or dry conditions, is normal,
is to be expected and should not be considered a fault. To keep the
moisture level stable, avoid direct exposure to heat, air-conditioning
units or direct sun.
Care: Solid woods expand and contact with changes in temperature and
humidity. Take care not to place your furniture anywhere that could be
subject to excessive changes in temperature or moisture. Avoid placing
furniture in direct sunlight..
If a piece of wood dries too much the timber will shrink and cracks
can occur, therefore many products will benefit with the application of
a furniture oil or wax. Silicone based polishes should not be used on
the wood as they will build up and leave a sticky residue on the
surface.
Cleaning: To clean, use a duster or damp cloth and wipe dry. Never
use all-purpose chemical or cleaning sprays on your wooden furniture.
You should not use soap and water on a regular basis as it can stain and
damage the wood.
For hard stains, use diluted detergent and water sparingly, wipe away
the detergent with a damp cloth then dry. Take care not to over rub as
this could create a shiny patch.
