Care Instructions

As the surface has a natural wax finish  great care should be taken to aviod  any liquid being spilt onto the surface as this may mark the furniture.

Any spills should be wiped away  immediately using a dry cloth

and the surface re-waxed as required. Always use protective coasters or mats Do not place cups,glasses or hot items  directly onto the surface as this can  cause permanent damage.

Avoid exposing the furniture to  excessive heat or direct sunlight as this can cause cracking and discolouration and occasional warping of  the timber.

Do not use silicone based aerosol polish  as this will remove the natural wax.

Never use a damp cloth as this may also remove part of the wax coating.

For everyday care,wipe with a dry cloth or duster.To achieve a premium finish,

regularly apply a natural beeswax polish,using a dry cloth and buff up  ensuring any wax is removed. 

The final finishing process involves a colour stain and laquer being applied.Followed by several coats of natural wax to enhance the wood grain.

You may find that parts of the packaging  may leave impressions in the soft wax.These can be simply remedied by polishing  out with a soft cloth once your furniture  has warmed to room temperature.          

Condition of rustic/ethnic furniture

By the nature of imported ethnic/rustic furniture can vary in colour/tone.

Sheesham furniture is a twisty grained hardwood.It is grown in India where conditions are warm and wet.It is quite different from European woods, like pine for example.When it arrives in the UK, it has already been wrapped in several layers of cardboard,plastic and bubble wrap.This is not only to protect it in transit, but to keep it warm,in order to protect it from our cold winter climate because it has come from a warmer Indian climate.

Once unpacked out of the shipping container, the wood can crack and splinter.So either, our suppliers in the U.K.or we may have to repair it, by glueing ,filling, waxing, or wood staining to make it presentable.

We try to do this before we deliver to you,after all you dont need the hassle.We do try to check that all is ok before we deliver.But sometimes when we deliver, we may need to do a final check to see if the furniture is still ok.We do this because we are trying to solve any problems before they arise.

We provide tips and after care,advise on how to look after your furniture.We want you to enjoy your furniture, we dont want you to regret buying our furniture.We would rather you tell us of any problems, we can usually advise you of the necessary remedies.It really is not that difficult to repair the furniture yourself once you know how to.

The appearance of sheesham Indian, mango fruitwood,acacia,rustic furniture.can be altered by using wood dyes and waxes.We have the waxes,stains,tools ,wire wool,sanding papers to do all this...and the skills.We can darken a light brown piece of sheesham or acacian wood furniture quite easily.Or lighten a dark one to a certain extent.

Certain furniture can be altered, you need to call or e.mail us, in order to find out more.

You may find differences in the wood grain appearance,this is a natural effect created during the maturing process.As the tree grows ,the older sections in the tree develop thicker,clearer grain patterns.Your furniture may be made from several cuttings of the same tree,creating the contrast of markings.
