Wood

Wood is a living, natural material that develops richness and character over time. Grain patterns, colour variation and subtle movement are inherent qualities that make every piece unique. With proper care, your wood furniture will continue to age beautifully for generations.

Daily Care

• Dust regularly with a soft, dry microfiber cloth.

• Wipe spills immediately using a clean, dry cloth.

• Clean with a lightly damp cloth when necessary, then dry the surface immediately.

• For routine maintenance, use products specifically formulated for fine wood furniture.

• Always wipe in the direction of the wood grain.

What to Avoid

To preserve the integrity of your wood furniture, avoid:

• Excess moisture or standing water.

• Harsh household cleaners or chemical sprays.

• Abrasive cloths, scouring pads or powders.

• Placing hot items directly on the surface.

• Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or heat sources, which may cause fading or movement in the wood.

Wood naturally expands and contracts with seasonal changes in humidity. Minor movement is a normal characteristic of solid wood.

Protecting the Surface

We recommend:

• Always using coasters beneath beverages.

• Using felt pads beneath decorative objects.

• Placing trivets beneath hot cookware or serving dishes.

• Maintaining a consistent indoor humidity level where possible.

• Lifting objects rather than dragging them across the surface.

Stains

Should staining occur:

• Blot spills immediately—never rub.

• Clean gently with a damp microfiber cloth and dry thoroughly.

• For stubborn marks, consult a professional furniture restoration specialist.

Avoid using solvents, alcohol-based cleaners or abrasive products.

Indoor Use

Unless otherwise specified, Just Because Design wood furniture and objects are intended for indoor use only.

Exposure to excessive moisture, direct rain or extreme temperature fluctuations may permanently damage the wood.

Natural Characteristics

Every piece of wood is inherently unique.

Variations in:

• Grain pattern

• Natural movement

are celebrated as part of the material's beauty and should not be considered imperfections.

Long-Term Care

With thoughtful care, wood develops a rich patina that reflects years of use and appreciation.

Subtle changes in tone, texture and character are part of the natural ageing process, giving each piece its own story over time.
