Caring for
your piece.

Dust your piece regularly with a soft, dry cloth, and wipe away spills as soon as they happen to prevent staining. For everyday cleaning, a cloth lightly dampened with water is usually all you need — dry the surface immediately afterward.

Use coasters, placemats, or trivets to protect surfaces from heat, moisture rings, and scratches, especially on tabletops that see daily use.

Keep your piece away from direct sunlight and heat sources such as radiators, vents, and fireplaces — prolonged exposure can cause fading, drying, or warping over time.

Solid wood and veneer respond naturally to changes in humidity, expanding slightly in humid conditions and contracting when the air is dry. Maintaining a stable indoor environment, ideally between 35–55% relative humidity, will help preserve your piece for years to come.

Different woods and finishes call for slightly different care.

Light & Natural Finishes (Oak, Natural, Hardwood) — these tones show watermarks and heat marks most visibly. Wipe up moisture right away and always use coasters.

Dark & Stained Finishes (Walnut, Smoked Black) — darker finishes can show dust and light scratches more readily against their tone. Regular dusting with a soft cloth keeps the surface looking its best.

Whitewashed & Cerused Finishes (White Cerused) — these finishes have a more open, textured grain. Avoid saturating the surface with liquid, as moisture can settle into the grain more easily than on a fully sealed finish.

Not sure which category your piece falls into? Reach out and we're happy to advise on the best care for your specific wood and finish.

Natural stone tops are porous and can be sensitive to acidic or oily substances — wipe up spills such as wine, citrus, or oil as soon as they happen to prevent staining or etching.

Clean with a soft cloth and a pH-neutral, stone-safe cleaner or mild soap and water — avoid vinegar, bleach, ammonia, or other acidic and abrasive cleaners, which can dull or damage the surface over time. Dry the surface after cleaning.

Always use a trivet or coaster under hot items. Natural variation in veining, tone, and texture is characteristic of natural stone and part of what makes each piece unique.

Dust metal legs, bases, and hardware regularly with a soft, dry cloth. For fingerprints or light residue, wipe with a cloth lightly dampened with mild soap and water, then dry immediately to prevent water spots.

Avoid abrasive cleaners, steel wool, or scouring pads, which can scratch or strip the finish. Keep metal surfaces away from prolonged moisture to prevent tarnishing.

Some metal finishes are designed to develop a natural patina over time — this is part of the material's character, not a flaw.

Vacuum upholstered pieces regularly using a soft brush attachment to remove dust and debris, and rotate or fluff cushions periodically for even wear.

Blot spills immediately with a clean, absorbent cloth rather than rubbing, which can spread the stain or damage the fibers. For deeper stains, we recommend professional upholstery cleaning rather than at-home chemical spot cleaners, which can discolor fabric or leather.

Keep upholstered pieces out of direct sunlight to prevent fading, and away from heat sources. Always check the care label on your specific piece, as recommended cleaning methods can vary by fabric or leather type.

Across materials, avoid harsh chemical cleaners, ammonia-based products, bleach, and silicone furniture polishes, which can dull finishes or leave a residue over time.

Never use abrasive scouring pads on wood, stone, or metal surfaces — a soft, barely damp cloth is always the safer choice.
