3. GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS OF WOODEN FURNITURE
All furniture sell on this website is handmade in raw wood and subsequently finished in the colour chosen by the client.
The polish is handmade as well as the construction.
Some particularities concerning the structure, structure assembly and polishing of the various pieces of furniture elements, are considered common features universally accepted.
Wood is an alive material subjected to movements even after a long time. The wood furniture cannot, by its very nature and processing methods have characteristics similar to furniture made of melamine or non-natural materials. The nature of the wood itself implies differences between a specimen and the other and such factors as the knotty wood, or the imperfections of some parts are not to be considered defects but an implicit feature that the customer accepts at the time when he place the order.
The manual assembly and finish applied may have features that are not to be identified as defects, but as specific peculiarities of the product.
Some aspects related to classic style furniture are: slight cracks between the joints of wooden parts due to the movement of the wood itself or deliberately left to prevent future settling of the elements; sanding of the furniture parts which can differ from one another because of their manual realization; traces of doweling or other elements used for the assembly; coating of uneven dyeing because is handmade (for example, in a piece of furniture with two doors, the coating, as well as the grain of the wood, will never be the same for both. This is the difference between real wood and melamine); the coating may not be totally covering in some parts of the cabinet such as the bottom etc.
The tone of lacquering can also vary for parts of the same piece of furniture due to different absorption of the wood. It may happens that two pieces of wood, although coming from the same plant, can absorb the color differently from one another. This depends on the different grain and porosity, or from different direction of the wood cutting.
The customer who buys a furniture totally or partially in solid wood implicitly accepts the possibility that occur movements of the wood itself that may give rise to entirely natural imperfections such as tiny cracks or curving.
Note that due to extreme climate changes slight swelling on doors and drawers may make them difficult to open. This will rectify itself in a few days, once the wood adapt to the environment. If the movement does not settle within a few days a small application of furniture wax may be needed to fix any adjustments. Therefore, stiff drawers or doors will not be considered as faulty.
These characteristics will be more evident the greater will be the exposure of the furniture at elevated temperatures or to frequent changes in temperature or humidity. Liquid or wet objects, as well as hot objects, cannot be left directly in contact with the furniture.
Please note that wood is an alive material and its aspect could changes because of the exposition to high temperatures, thermal shocks, humidity or others environmental factors.

In case of orders placed in two or more different moments, the lacquering could be slightly different.
