Please note that timber is a natural material and can and will move depending its environment. It is normal for wood to expand and contract and there is no guarantee against this. Please be aware the movement is more likely to be evident if a piece of furniture is placed in a warm conservatory or next to a radiator. Also again as it is a natural material direct sunlight will bleach and fade materials. It is not possible to guarantee against this natural movement. After a few seasons it will settle down and its appearance will add to its charm.

As all of our furniture has some age to it there may be evidence of old worm. As a rule we re-treat anything that may or may not have worm if there is any evidence. However, it is impossible to be 100 % certain that this treatment is totally effective and Original House takes no responsibility for any damaged caused to furniture supplied or to surrounding furniture or building materials.
Zinc tops scratch and ware very easily – this all adds to the character of the finish and is really why people chose Zinc tops. It can also move and needs to be treated with care. Do not place next to heat sources such as radiators or place hot objects on top, use matts. Original House will not be liable for natural ware occurring to Zinc tops. Please see this link for more detailed information.
Use a warm, damp and slightly soapy cloth to wipe over. Do not use any spray cleaners as they can damage the protection of the lacquer finish or use wax as a build up can occur and spoil the appearance of the finish. Where furniture is installed on site within two weeks of being finished by us, special care should be taken not to damage the lacquer finish. Lacquer can take several days to be heat-proof and up to two weeks to fully cure. During this time we strongly advise placing hot objects on mats rather than the bare top.
– these do not provide as much protection as lacquer finishes, nor are they as durable. Particular care should be taken to wipe up spills immediately. If they are not cleaned immediately, a permanent stain can result. If Osmo oil (or similar) has been used and after time the tops feel noticeably dry, apply additional coats.
