Solid wood is a natural material and, as such, displays unique variations in grain and colour. Its surface is affected by light, causing its character and colour to change over time. Being a living material, wood responds to its environment—it may dry out and contract in warm, dry air, while high humidity can cause it to expand. These natural properties give solid wood its distinct beauty, and with proper care, you can help extend its lifespan significantly.

For daily maintenance, simply wipe down the veneer with a clean, well-wrung damp cloth. If any stains or dirt accumulate, use a mild soap solution or a gentle wood cleaner. Be sure to follow up with a dry cloth to remove any excess moisture. Keep the wood away from direct sunlight to prevent discolouration, and avoid placing it near strong heat sources like fireplaces or radiators, as extreme heat can lead to warping. It’s also best to cover the surface with breathable materials during long periods of inactivity, and maintain a room humidity level between 40% and 60%.
