Product Care & Help Guide

Quality dining tables, bookcases, and entryway shoe cabinets are designed to be the hardworking cornerstones of your home. To preserve durable wood grains, smooth drawer glides, and protective finishes, please follow our practical maintenance guide below:

1. Dining Tables & Surface Protection

• Heat & Moisture Mats: Always use heat-resistant placemats and coasters under hot serving dishes, teapots, and cold drink glasses. Leaving hot pans or condensation puddles directly on wood surfaces can cause white heat rings or finish clouding.
• Immediate Spill Response: Wipe away spilled curries, wine, or tomato sauces immediately with a damp cloth; prolonged contact with acidic liquids can stain timber topcoats.

2. Bookcases & Heavy Load Balancing

• Even Weight Distribution: Place heavier encyclopedias, hardcover volumes, and heavy storage boxes on lower shelves, keeping lighter paperbacks and decorative ornaments on upper tiers. This keeps the center of gravity low and stable.
• Anti-Tip Wall Securing: Always anchor freestanding bookcases firmly to your bedroom or study wall using the included anti-tip tether straps to safeguard family members and children.

3. Shoe Cabinets & Hallway Care

• Dry Placement: While manufactured with moisture-resistant surfaces, allow heavily soaked rain boots to drip-dry slightly before storing them inside closed tipping compartments to maintain ventilation.
• Hinge Maintenance: Check tipping pivot hinges and drawer pulls every six months, gently retightening screws to ensure effortless, silent opening.

4. General Cleaning & Dusting

• Microfibre Dusting: Wipe surfaces weekly with a clean, dry microfibre cloth. Avoid abrasive scouring pads, neat bleach, or silicone-based aerosol polishes which build up an oily film.
