Knots on surface areas are filled by our carpenters, ensuring a smooth surface that's easy to clean, while all other knots are left open and natural.
For daily care, we recommend using water and any cleaning product safe for wood surfaces. Avoid abrasive cleaners and harsh chemicals as it will deteriorate the finish and could cause damage. Remember to use a trivet or coaster for items too hot to touch.
To properly store a wooden table leaf when not in use, keep it flat in a clean, cool, dry, and shaded area, such as under a couch, bed, or in a closet. Avoid leaning it upright to prevent warping. In humid environments, wrap the leaf in a vapor-resistant material, like an old bed sheet, to protect it from moisture and mold. Always ensure the storage location is free from extreme temperature fluctuations or direct sunlight, which can damage the wood.
If an expandable table leaf doesn’t fit properly after storage, it may need time to reacclimate to the table due to natural wood expansion and contraction. Place the leaf in the same environment as the table for a few days to adjust to the temperature and humidity. Once acclimated, fit the leaf into the table, checking for debris or misalignment. Avoid forcing the fit to prevent damage, and make small adjustments as needed.
