Colour Change – All wooden furniture will change in shade slightly now that the wood is exposed to sunlight. This is perfectly normal and happens at it’s greatest rate in the first 6 months. Please take care not to leave items on the top surface of the furniture for long periods & especially in the early months. Items placed should be periodically moved to allow light to all areas, ensuring an even mellowing of the wood.
Resin- The epoxy resin we use is a robust material but is not resistant to scratches and excessive heat. Surface scratches can be buffed out with an appropriate cutting compound such as Novus plastic polish
Wood finish – If your table has a satin oiled finish, this can be maintained with periodic oiling. If the surface has light scratches or appears dry or rough, a light sand with 320 grit sandpaper (with the grain direction) and a couple of light applications of oil will have your table looking as good as new. A good oil to use is Osmo polyx satin clear but be very sparing and wipe any excess off as soon as it is applied. There are no limits to how many times you can do this. Do not use sandpaper, oil or wax on the resin part of the table.
Extra Protection – Please do NOT place glass or other non-porous covers on your table! This does not allow the wood to 'breathe' evenly and will likely cause the table to bow or bend
