All off the oak that we use to manufacture the tables and chairs that we offer is hand selected and scrutinised to ensure only the best cuts are used to make the furniture that we sell. To bring out the true beauty of natural oak we finish our furniture in a light coating of oil
Furniture Care Tips
1. Avoid direct exposure to sunlight for long periods of time. This may fade the oak over time and accelerate the evaporation of the protective oils that have soaked into the oak.
2. Never wipe oiled oak furniture with a wet cloth as this will remove the protective oils from the table. If you get a spillage soak it up with a dry cloth immediately and the gently dab the are with a damp cloth to try and remove as much liquid as possible. A light dusting should be enough for general cleaning.
3. Apply a new coating of oil to furniture when the oil appears to have dried up on the surface. This is likely to be once or twice a year to keep tables in tip top condition. We recommend that you use Teak oil, Linseed oil, Tung oil or Danish oil which can be bought cheaply for less than £3 for a small bottle from Wilkinson's high street shop. Danish oil dries to a harder more resistant finish on the table top making it more resistant to scratching or minor spillages. The best way to apply this to tables is to decant it into a spray bottle and mist it across the table top and then lightly work it into the top with a soft lint free cloth or with a soft paint brush. Care needs to be taken with chairs as the oil can stain fabrics.
4. Try not to have to have the central heating on too high in the dining room when not in use as this will dry the protective oils out quicker meaning you may have to re apply oil more regularly.
5. Download our furniture care instructions here supplied by Becker Acroma who are on of Europe's biggest furniture oil manufacturers. Becker oils are applied to all of our tables after manufacture.
6. Don't stand on dining chairs or allow people to rock backwards on the back legs as it may damage them.
7. Use mats on tables for cups and plates so that there is not direct contact with hot or damp items with the oak surface.
8. Never drag a table along a floor as this may cause damage to the table joints and could also damage your flooring.
9. Enjoy your furniture! That's the reason you bought it so with a little common sense and minimal maintenance it should last you a lifetime.
