At FDB Møbler, we take pride in offering handcrafted furniture made from natural materials, providing each product with its own unique character. Please note that due to these handmade processes and the natural materials used, there may be minor variations in size, shape, grain structure, and colour between different productions.

Wood is affected by humidity, air temperature, and sunlight over extended periods. Always protect the wood from hot items such as pots and candles, as well as from potted plants that may release moisture.

To prevent colour differences caused by light exposure, it is recommended not to place permanent decorations on the table, such as placemats or vases, regardless of the type of wood furniture, especially during the first month.

For cleaning, wipe the furniture with a hard-wrung cloth and warm water. Any spilled liquids should be wiped up immediately to prevent stains.

Regular care and maintenance ensure the longevity of the wood. To maintain the surface, it is recommended to treat the wood with furniture oil 2-4 times a year or as needed. First, clean with a hard-wrung cloth and let it dry. If the wood grains raise, the surface can be lightly sanded with grain 220 or higher. Then, follow the instructions on the selected oil, starting on a less visible area.

IMPORTANT:

1. When treating the surface of a tabletop, remember to treat both sides to prevent warping of the solid wood.
2. When treating the surface of woven furniture, be careful not to get oil on the paper cord.
3.  It is important to wipe off excess oil from the furniture after the recommended absorption time to avoid leaving the furniture with a greasy surface.
4. After using cloths or sponges, it is crucial to place them in a plastic bag with water and seal it airtight before disposal, as the oil can make them self-ignite. Please follow the oil manufacturer's instructions for proper disposal.

To maintain the wood, use soap flakes 1-2 times a year or as needed. The more treatments, the better protection. The treatment is done by whipping the soap flakes with demineralized water in a 1:10 ratio, stirring until the flakes are properly dissolved. Do not pour the solution directly onto the furniture but apply with a colorless cotton cloth to ensure does not get soaked. During the first couple of treatments, the wood’s fibers will likely rise. Use sanding sponge grain 240 carefully on the surface when the furniture is completely dry.

Paper cord is treated with a thin layer of wax, making it more resistant. As it is natural material, a darker patina will develop over time. 

If spills occur on the paper cord, remove as much of the liquid as possible with a dry colorless cloth. Then dab the stain lightly with a hard-wrung cloth. Avoid rubbing the stain and do not use chemicals, dish soap, or cleaning agents. Discorloration of the paper cord my occur with spills of strong liquids, such as red wine, fruit juice, heavily coloured food, or contact with non-colourfast clothing. If desired, use a cushion to protect tge paper cord.

Make sure to wipe the entire surface to prevent spots. For leather aftercare, use soap flakes. Whip the flakes with a little demineralized water, then use the foam to apply to the leather. Once the leather is dry, wipe it down with a hard-wrung cotton cloth.

This type of leather has an untreated surface, highlighting the unique beauty of leather. As it is an untreated material, unique patina will devlop over time, and natural drying out of the leather may occur.
