SOLID WOOD

Solid wood refers to a logs that has been slice into a thinner thickness in a form of wooden board with a very diverse wood grain pattern. The grain of the wood has its own story in each slice. A special pattern such as tree knots, sapwood (light-colored part close to bark), and tiger spots are the differentiation of the wood which makes it unique to one another. The diverse pattern which originated from the wood has considered as valuable personalities rather than being thrown away, and are utilized as they are in products.

As the solid wood originated from living material, it absorbs the humidity and swells in the summer and releases moisture in the colder season.The process occurs repeatedly, expansion and contraction cause a crack in some furniture. This process will happen repeatedly that can create a patina like in leather. As the shape of the furniture changes, it also treasures your memories.

Lacquer consider less durable to scratches and heat . The usage of additional layers such as coaster or saucer are advisable because the color of the furniture the surface will easily turn white if it contacts directly with a hot surface

Daily cleaning by soft cotton cloth is recommended for wiping off the dust. Additional substance like mild detergent is also a good choice for the cleaning process

URETHANE

Resin based substance, create an additional layer which resistant to scratches and heat. Urethane paint is the choice of coating for furniture which are being used heavily, like restaurant and home with children as it prone to dirt , scratches ,and heat. The after finish effect that creates clear finish and wet look make the furniture has an expensive look over the other finishing type. Moreover, it does not require extensive maintenance. On the case of the paint peel off, a special technique is necessary to be performed on the specific area only.

OIL PAINTING

Oil painting is known to be the most environmentally friendly type of finishing, as it not adding any layer of coating after being applied to the furniture. The grain is being exposed in its natural way, yet wood's pores are still left open after the finishing process. Nonetheless, oil painting resulted on least resistances towards water as well as scratches compare to other finishing methods.

Furniture placement play an important role in keeping the moisture of the finishing. Direct sunlight may harm the appearance of the furniture. We recommend overcoating the furniture periodically to retain its beauty.
