How to Care for your Veneer

Some of our most unique styles are crafted with high-quality or specialty wood veneers over a solid or engineered wood substrate. Our veneers are hand selected to add movement to a piece while minimizing the risk of expansion and contraction found in some solid wood products.

• Address spills immediately by wiping with a dry, soft cloth.
• Use coasters, trivets, and placemats for protection against hot or wet items.
• Dust regularly with a soft, damp cloth, followed by a dry one.
• Spot clean as needed with a soft cloth and mild soap.
• Do not use furniture polish, ammonia-based cleaners, or other chemicals as they will leave a wax buildup and will change the appearance of the wood over time.
• Avoid using abrasive cleaners, chemical solvents, strong detergents, furniture polish and cleaners with bleach.
• Avoid lengthy exposure to direct sunlight (unless outdoor-specific items) as it may cause finish to change.
• Always lift and carry, do not drag when moving furniture.

How to Care for your Metal

The naturally elegant luster of metals brings trend-forward sophistication to streamlined styles, ushering edge, interest and warmth to any space it graces.

• Address spills immediately by wiping with a dry, soft cloth.
• Dust regularly with a soft, damp cloth, followed by a dry one.
• Avoid use of cleaning products with acid, vinegar, lemon, and ammonia, as abrasive ingredients can damage surface.
• Metal surfaces are not scratch or heat-resistant, and may scuff or stain without proper care. To maintain material’s natural appearance, avoid sharp objects on surfaces. Use coasters, trivets and placemats for protection against hot or wet items.
