Care and Maintenance

• Wood, a natural product, needs attention. General Care.
• Always lift the furniture when moving it around. Never drag.
  
• Rotate cushions regularly to even the wear and fading.
  
• Do not sit on the arms of the chairs.
  
• Standing on a chair or rocking on the back of the chair may weaken the structure.
  
• To protect furniture surfaces use coasters, plate mats, tablecloths and table runners.
  
• Metal parts should be cleaned with a wet cloth only, do not use abrasive cleaner.

Exterior Furniture

• Exterior furniture should be stored under cover if not used for a long period of time.
• Storage is recommended during Winter.
  
• To maintain its beauty, exterior wooden furniture should be oil-treated twice a year, Summer and Winter.
  
• Any good penetrating oil such as Linseed Oil, Teak Oil, Wood Oil can be used.
  
• Treatment should be done using a soft cloth or brush. Apply generously giving the oil time to penetrate the wood. Leave for a few hours and wipe of excess.
  
• If not treated, over time exterior wooden furniture will show the effects of nature's elements by turning into a silver-grey patina.
  
• Possible surface mildew on exterior wooden furniture can be washed away with a mild solution of bleach and water. After drying, an immediate oil treatment is mandatory.
• If a color change is desired, this can be achieved by applying an oil-based stain, or by using any wood paint for outdoors. The wood must be sanded down prior to pain application.

Self Assembly Furniture

• Every three months please check and re-tighten any fasteners (bolts, screws etc).
• Keep assembly instructions and hardware (e.g. Allen keys) in a safe place in case you need to reuse them.
