Why oak?

















One of the main benefits of choosing oak furniture is its ability to last. Oak is a hardwood with a tight grain which means its durable and can take almost anything your daily family life can throw at it!

Oak furniture is often considered to be expensive but its enduring quality and sturdiness will stand the test of time. You shouldn't have to replace well made oak furniture unless you want to redecorate your rooms with new items. Owning a few solid oak pieces is an investment that can last a lifetime.

Oak is also a versatile wood and furniture can be simple or elaborate in design making it ideal for all types of furniture from chairs and tables to beds and wardrobes.

The attractive appearance of the wood is down to the grain, which has a subtle variegation, and to its distinctive light golden colour.

Keeping your oak furniture looking good is simple too and you will find oak is one of the easiest types of furniture to care for. Just wipe your oak furniture without using spray or cleaning products and give it a light coat of Danish oil when you feel the wood needs it.

With a small amount of care oak furniture will reward you with a lifetime of use.
