Rosewood Furniture - Care of your Furniture

DO NOT USE SILICONE BASED CLEANERS ON THIS FURNITURE

DO NOT WIPE WITH WATER - THIS WILL LIGHTEN THE WOOD COLOUR

All of our furniture is manufactured in southern China by a single supplier who
we consider is amongst the very best of rosewood manufacturers to be found anywhere in China. There are numerous other "imitators" who build furniture
which is similar in appearance but not in durability or quality. This manufacturer
is one of only a few who take the trouble and the time required in the manufacturing process to ensure that all the timber used is properly and adequately kiln dried so
as to avoid problems with shrinkage and cracking.

All our Rosewood furniture has been designed with floating panels built into each
face of the furniture. These are designed with tongue and groove joints and are
the reason behind the "grooves" which you will see on the tops of all our desks
and tables etc and on each face of the furniture.

These grooves and the floating panels they accommodate are specifically designed
to take up the movement which occurs in all solid wood furniture both seasonally
and when it is moved into a new environment and atmosphere. The grooves allow
the structure to take up expansion and contraction in the main panels of the furniture.

During the first month or so, you may be alarmed to hear the occasional "crack". This
is not the timber cracking. This noise occurs when the varnish at joints in the grooves comes under tension as the panels expand or contract and then suddenly releases
as the varnish at the joint within the groove gives and "cracks" with the movement.
The furniture will, however, quite quickly adjust and settle into new humidity and temperature conditions, at which point the movement stops - unless and until the environmental conditions change again. If and when this happens the grooves will
again come into play and allow the furniture to adjust without warping, deforming or
the timber itself cracking. Once the varnish has "given" once any later movement is however usually silent.

All solid timber furniture when it is new or moved into a different environment will
adjust to its new environment and move. Unless movement has been allowed for in
the design of solid timber furniture, it can and invariably does result in the furniture warping and/or the timber itself splitting and cracking causing irreparable damage.
Our furniture is designed specifically so as to avoid this happening.
