SOLID WOOD FURNITURE CARE

Though built for the long term, there are a number of precautions that should be used to lengthen the lifespan. Some helpful tips are the use of coasters, avoiding constant heat from fires, vents, radiators and direct sunlight. Keeping a constant humidity of around 45% will prevent shrinking and swelling.

STAIN AND FINISH

For both staining and finishing Varathane products are exclusively used by Countervail furniture. The staining product used is Varathane Ultimate Polyurethane Oil Based Stain. This product is specially developed to let wood’s natural beauty show through with the highest clarity over other oil-based polyurethanes. Varathane’s premium oil-based finish gives wood a rich, golden glow that deepens with warmth over time. The finishing product is Varathane Premium Diamond Wood Finish. This product provides protection for the wood that is diamond hard, diamond clear, and diamond beautiful. Varathane Premium Diamond Wood Finish Interior is specifically developed to enhance the natural beauty of wood while providing the best scratch and stain resistance available. It offers a crystal clear finish that never yellows – resists water, alcohol, and household chemicals. This water based wood finish is also low odour and environmentally friendly.

TENSEGRITY TABLE LONG TERM CARE

Over time the cables on the Tensegrity Table may settle. This will lead to more mobility of the table top, AKA “wiggle”. If this is undesirable the cables can be easily tightened to return the table to the original state.
