Material Use & Care Guide

MATERIAL USE & CARE GUIDE

+ MATERIALS

Solid Cherry Wood

A durable hardwood that has a rich, reddish color that darkens over time. Every piece is hand-selected and locally sourced. Note that direct exposure to sunlight accelerates the natural darkening process of the wood.

Cherry Wood Veneer

A sliced panel of natural cherry hardwood bonded to high-grade plywood providing the qualities of solid wood with dimensional stability. Like hardwood, cherry veneer also darkens over time.
‍

Grade 12 Matte Formica Laminate

A post-forming high-pressure laminate (HPL) with a matte finish bonded to a substrate, chosen for its resilience, low visual glare, and durability in daily use.
‍

Hardwax Oil Wood Finish

A wood finish formulated with natural vegetable oils and waxes, designed to enhance durability while protecting against water and dirt. It penetrates deeply, smooths the surface, and leaves a resilient, matte-satin finish that highlights the wood’s natural character.
‍

Satin Silver Aluminum

Layer of 0.025" 909 Satin Silver Aluminum Chemetal® Sheet laminated on plywood.

+ Care and Maintenance

Solid Cherry Wood / Cherry Wood Veneer

Avoid exposing wood to direct heat and sunlight
Maintain consistent humidity to prevent excessive contraction and expansion of wooden joints and pieces
Wipe up spills immediately with a clean, dry cloth
Avoid using abrasives, harsh chemicals, and aerosol-powered cleaners on finishes and veneers

Grade 12 Matte Formica Laminate / Satin Silver Aluminum

Apply a small amount of mild liquid dish soap to a damp, non-abrasive cotton cloth and clean using a gentle circular motion.
Rinse the cloth with clean water to remove any soap residue, then immediately dry with a soft cloth
Do not use abrasive pads, steel wool, or harsh chemicals. Avoid dragging sharp objects across the surface
Do not use ammonia or bleach-based cleaners
