Products

How safe are your products?

Don’t put wooden furniture near open fires.
Be careful of doors with glass panels- don’t slam doors and be careful of children around these units.(sliding door bookcase notably)
Don’t overload glass shelves with heavy objects (Adams bookcase)
Allow enough ventilation of hi-fi/electronic components/TV’s etc in units with doors.
Make sure tall narrow units are on level floors and tend to lean towards the wall not away from the wall.
Don’t lean back on the back legs of chairs-this weakens the joints and also chair might tip backwards.

Please remember that wood is a natural material. It is important to understand its unique properties, which should not be mistaken for flaws. Please see our care & maintenance instructions here
