GENERAL INFORMATION ON WOOD

Solid wood - a real natural product. Unique in structure and colour. Colour or structure variations from the samples shown are standard and have to be accepted. Bullfrog wood has knots, adnations or fine cracks. Natural wood turns grey. It moves and shows signs of use. For some of our woods, knotholes and cracks are puttied. Colour deviations are also the rule here, depending on the surface treatment. All these variations are no reason for complaint. Our wood is offered lacquered, oiled and untreated.

Useful care instructions: Wood works - it absorbs or releases moisture depending on the room climate. The furniture must not be exposed to extremely high or too low humidity. Ensure a normal room climate, here the common recommendation is 45-55% relative humidity and 18-21°C room temperature.

Untreated wood: For daily care and light soiling, the wood surface can be wiped with a dry or damp cloth. Please note that there is always a slight abrasion of the wood fibres on untreated wood. In the case of dark woods, this abrasion can certainly be seen on a light-coloured cloth. This is not a reason for complaint. Particularly with smoked oak, it is important to ensure that the wood is not wiped wet, as this moisture causes salts, which are deposited in the wood as a result of the smoking process, to bloom and become visible as white stains. These stains can only be removed by sanding. All untreated woods that show coarse soiling or rough spots can be treated with a common fine sanding pad (min. 250 grain) if necessary. Untreated woods have a unique character due to their naturalness. Through daily use, a desired patina develops over time. 

Oiled wood: For daily care and light soiling, the wood surface can be wiped with a dry or damp cloth. Heavily used areas can be refreshed with a suitable commercially available wood oil. Please note that the oil must dry completely before upholstery parts can be laid on again. Please follow the manufacturer‘s instructions. Attention! Please note that the colour of the wood may change slightly after treatment with the oil!

Lacquered wood: For daily care and light soiling, the wood surface can be wiped with a dry or damp cloth
