Frequently Asked Questions
-
With proper care and maintenance, quality wood furniture can last for generations. The longevity depends on several factors including wood species, construction quality, environmental conditions, and maintenance practices. Hardwoods like oak, maple, and walnut typically outlast softer woods when properly finished and cared for.
-
Regular maintenance includes dusting with a soft cloth, avoiding direct sunlight and extreme temperature changes, using coasters and placemats, and periodic application of appropriate wood care products. The specific maintenance needs vary based on the finish type—oil finishes require periodic reapplication, while lacquered surfaces need less frequent attention but should be protected from scratches.
-
Matte finishes should be cleaned with a damp cloth and dried immediately. Satin finishes can tolerate gentle cleaning solutions designed for wood. High-gloss finishes require careful handling to avoid scratches and should be polished with appropriate products. Oil finishes benefit from periodic reapplication of the same oil used originally. Always test cleaning products in an inconspicuous area first.
-
We can repair most structural damage, finish issues, and hardware problems. However, extensive damage that compromises more than 50% of the piece may require reconstruction rather than repair. We assess each piece individually and provide honest recommendations about the feasibility and cost-effectiveness of restoration versus replacement.
-
Preserve your investment by maintaining stable humidity levels (40-60% relative humidity), avoiding direct sunlight, using appropriate cleaning methods, addressing minor issues promptly before they become major problems, and scheduling periodic professional inspections. Quality furniture is an investment that appreciates with proper care.

We work with a wide range of wood species and furniture types, from antique pieces to modern designs. Our expertise covers solid wood, veneered, and engineered wood furniture. We assess each piece to determine the appropriate techniques and materials for restoration or repair.
Material-Specific Care
Hardwood Care
Hardwoods like oak, maple, and walnut require regular dusting and periodic conditioning. Avoid excessive moisture and protect from scratches with appropriate surface protection.
Veneer Maintenance
Veneered surfaces need gentle care to avoid delamination. Use soft cloths, avoid excessive moisture, and protect from impacts that could cause the veneer to lift or crack.
