Wood

Natural wood is a living material. Over time, your piece may develop small splits, knots, divots, or joint lines — these are character marks, not flaws. Timber will also expand and contract slightly with changes in temperature and humidity, particularly across New Zealand's seasons. This is completely normal.

Care & Maintenance

* Clean spills promptly with a clean, damp cloth
* Dust regularly with a soft cloth
* Use tablecloths, runners, coasters, and placemats to protect surfaces from heat and scratches
* Always lift furniture when moving — never drag or push, as this can loosen joinery
* Avoid direct sunlight, which can cause cracking, splintering, or colour change. If furniture is in a sunny spot, move decorative items regularly to prevent spotting
* Avoid polishes or waxes containing high levels of silicon or petroleum distillate

Leather

Good quality, full grain leather embraces each piece's individual markings rather than disguising them — natural variations that simply reflect a life lived by the animal. As a natural product, leather requires regular cleaning and conditioning to maintain its beauty and suppleness. Body oils, heat, and sunlight can all affect its colour and appearance over time.

Care & Maintenance

* Clean and condition every 3–6 months, depending on usage
* Keep out of direct sunlight — New Zealand's UV rays are particularly harsh, and prolonged exposure will damage leather
* Dust regularly with a soft cloth, or vacuum with a soft brush attachment, as dust and hair break down leather over time
* Clean spills immediately with a slightly damp cloth — avoid rubbing or excess water
* Never use household cleaning products, detergents, oils, furniture polish, or saddle soap. Keep products containing ammonia or alkalies well away, as they can cause irreparable damage
* Always test any recommended cleaning product or cream on an inconspicuous area first, following the instructions carefully
A semi-aniline leather protection cream can be applied for extra protection against staining and scratching, though this may slightly alter the leather's colour
