Do I have to assemble my furniture?
Absolutely not, all our furniture items will arrive fully assembled and ready to use. This allows for solid construction and add durability and strength to your furniture.
Do you have a Warranty program?
We pride ourselves in providing quality wooden furniture and we stand behind our workmanship and hand-selected hard woods. Natural hardwood is an organic material and as such every item produced by BFF is unique in appearance and character. We do however hand pick every piece of wood to ensure the wood tone and wood grain will compliment your design, but variations are natural and is part of the charm of wooden furniture. For this reason wood stains will also be absorbed slightly differently between different pieces, so you can expect some colour variation. We use our expertise in blending the variations towards conformity, but uniformity cannot be 100% guaranteed. You can also expect that your furniture item will age beautifully and differentiation amongst grain can be expected over time. Humidity levels can affect your furniture – all our furniture is made with expansion in mind and will expand and contract perfectly in most homes. However during the winter and in very dry areas you might need to use humidifier to control your humidity - to keep your furniture in the best condition your home’s relative humidity should stay between 30-40%.
Decorator or Interior Designer?
Yes, if you are a decorator, interior designer, stager or home building company we offer a discounted rate. Must have a valid Decorating/Design/Staging/Home building company. Please contact us here
How do I care for my furniture?
At BFF we build furniture that is made to last, but will need some care from you to keep it as good as new. Clean your wooden furniture with a soft soap and a damp cloth, do not use any solvents or any other cleaning agents. Do not use wax, furniture polish or other silicon polish
Place furniture items away from radiators, heating vents and wood-burning stoves, the humidity in your room should stay at about 30-40%. Make sure your furniture is not exposed to direct sunlight, unless it is outdoor furniture which will be treated against the elements.
Although all our table tops are finished with a durable product we do recommend that you take care with placing décor items not to scratch the surface. Also avoid liquid spills and use coasters for cups and glasses.
