FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

PRODUCTS & MATERIALS

• Can I make customizations to your furniture during manufacturing?

  No, unfortunately, we do not offer customizations. Our furniture is manufactured according to fixed design and product specifications and therefore cannot be altered in size, color, or material. However, we have a wide range of furniture in various styles and designs to suit different needs.

• How well do the extension and insert leaves match the tabletop?

  All extension and insert leaves are designed to fit perfectly in size and function to the respective table. However, the grain on the extension and insert leaves may run in a different direction than the tabletop, which is part of the design.

  Color differences may occur because wood is a living material that changes over time. To minimize shade differences, it is recommended that extension and insert leaves be stored in the same light exposure as the table.

• What is Martindale?

  Martindale is a measure of how durable a fabric is. It is measured by rubbing a fabric-covered plate against the material until wear occurs.

  • For private use, 15,000–30,000 Martindale is recommended.
  • For furniture used daily, the fabric should have a higher Martindale value.
  • Public environments often require at least 50,000 Martindale.

  The Martindale value is specified in the product description of our fabric-covered furniture.
