PRODUCTS WITH PERSONALITY
Each piece of wood carries its own unique features with variations in grain, pattern, colour and may even contain small natural knots and furrows in its surface. These minor imperfections are not faults in the wood but are natural features which give every piece of furniture its own individual identity and add to the enjoyment of owning a piece of furniture made of solid wood. This furniture is ‘alive’ and may work in time. However, quality problems may be prevented by installing, using and maintaining the furniture in accordance with our product care instructions which are available on request.
Each leather hide has unique marks, color variations and a personality of its own. These distinctive marks are nicks, stretch marks, healed scars and native marks. Only true leather can boast these marks.
All these distinctive characteristics make our products unique and bear no grounds for quality complaints.
