Wood and Wood Veneers
 
 

BambooTimbre™

Floating panels
Used in furnishings where large panels or solid wood are required. Allow for the expansion and contraction of wood due to temperature and humidity without the risk of cracking or splitting.

Lacquer finish
Applied to seal and protect the wood, while allowing the color and grain to show through. Does not require wax or polish.

Mitered corners
An angular joint used to create a clean look.

Oil-and-wax finish
A finish that enhances the wood’s beauty and seals in moisture. This finish does not protect against spills and stains.

Self-storing leaves
Table leaves that extend from the ends of the table and store beneath the tabletop.

Wire management

Care Instructions
 

TIPS FOR ALL FURNITURE

• Blot spills immediately.
• Avoid using household cleaners, spot removers, waxes and products that contain ammonia.
• Do not set hot or damp items directly on furniture.
• Use felt pads to protect surfaces from scratches and imprints.
• If necessary, use a shim to ensure furniture sits evenly.

WOOD

• Dust regularly with a damp cloth. Wipe dry.
• Irregularities such as sap wood, knots and uneven coloration should be expected in natural wood. These are not defects but rather enhance the beauty of this material.
• To maintain and protect wood with an oil-and-wax finish, apply Room & Board Satin Wax once a year or more often if the wood appears dry or rough to the touch. Satin Wax can be purchased in our stores or by calling the toll-free number on your catalog or invoice.
• For leather-inlayed wood, dust with a lint-free cloth and follow with a light application of polish. Avoid polishes that create build-up.
• Over time, air and daylight will change the color of natural wood. Occasionally rotate items placed on wood to allow a uniform color to develop.
• To ensure even coloration of extension table leaves, expose them to the same light as your table. Once the leaves have reached mature coloration, they may be stored flat and top-down.
• Fluctuating temperatures and humidity levels may cause wood to warp, swell or shrink. Keeping furniture doors closed will help minimize changes in this most commonly affected part of furniture.
• Avoid contact with rubber bumpers and candle wax; they may react with the wood's finish and leave a stain.
