Care Instructions
for wood furniture
IMPORTANT
As your furniture has been boxed since manufacture there may be a slight oil residue on the pieces
which will dry when it is left in the air. Care should be taken when assembling and using the
furniture in the first couple of days particularly if light coloured clothes are worn. Hardwood
has a varied texture which absorbs oil at different rates. This may mean there are some paler
dry patches. If this is the case then apply a little oil as directed in the care instructions below.
Use of Wood Furniture
- This furniture has been made for the garden and is not suitable for indoor use or conservatories.
If positioned on grass the legs may absorb moisture which could cause deterioration. The sunlight
will make the colour of the wood mellow with time even if it is oiled.
- Never place hot dishes directly on to the wood as they will mark the surface.
- Wipe up spills immediately as the oiled surface is more susceptible to stains than a lacquered
finish and the wood will absorb moisture causing the grain to rise slightly.
- Take care when moving furniture and never drag pieces as this will cause damage to the joints.
- To ensure the longevity of your garden furniture it is advised that it is covered when not in use and
that it is stored in a garage or shed over the winter months. Ensure furniture is dry before storing.
Care Instructions.
- In the first three months the furniture should be oiled monthly with a hardwood garden furniture
oil using a lint free cloth, paying particular attention to the ends of the legs and slats as
they are more absorbent.
- After the first three months, the furniture should be oiled once a year as it is brought out at the
beginning of the spring summer season and whenever the surface is looking dry. The wood will
gradually change colour to a silvery grey and the surface will become rough. Regular oiling will help
to minimise cracking but won’t eliminate it. Cracking of the timber does not affect
the durability of the product.
- Do not use oils sold for cooking or eating as they will leave a sticky film.
- If the surface of the furniture becomes slightly stained or damage with use, then it can often
be removed by sanding gently with fine sandpaper then re-oiling. If the stain or damage is more
serious then we recommend that professional help is obtained.
- Please check the fixings are all tight when you put the furniture out each year, as the wood
may expand or contract slightly.
Please retain for future reference.
