Caring for your table

  • Remember to dust!

Most people do not know this but, if enough dust collects on wooden furniture it can lead to the finish getting scratched. It is this reason why we highly recommend that you dust your table often -preferably with a lint free microfibre cloth. This simple process will help to guarantee a long life for you your live edge wood table. It may even become a family heirloom, if enough time passes. Please note that dry dusting is not a good idea as it may leave unsightly scratching. So you can either use wood oil or simply soft damp cloth to clean your wood table.

  • Avoid High Heat Areas

It is important to remember that you need to keep away from high heat areas of the home or radiators. Our wood tables are made from natural wood so exposing them to that temperature swing can lead to the wood warping or splitting. Don’t worry, you’re ok to put it close to a bright and big window!

  • Be aware of humidity levels

If you have owned genuine wood furniture before then you are well aware that it is sensitive to extremes in humidity. To ensure longevity of your table, it is important that you try to keep the humidity level between 40 and 45 percent. If the room humidity drops below this point, it can cause your natural wood table to crack. If the humidity is too high then it may cause the table to swell. Don't forget that prolonged moisture like spills and drops might stain the finishing, so it's a good idea to clean up any spills as soon as possible. 

  • Yearly shining

You will need to polish your table once a year to ensure that it shines like the first it entered your home. Avoid silicone based polish products like pledge because it can be absorbed by the natural wood over time and ruin your rustic table. Instead, find and use a hard carnauba wax. Polishing the table requires a little effort, luckily you only have to do it once per year.
