Yes, we will blanket wrap and ship to the continental United States

How
long will my order take to complete?
Generally domestic orders take 6 to 8 weeks. For U.S. orders, an
additional 2 to 4 weeks may apply.
How
do I care for my furniture?
Our furniture has maintenance free post catalyzed lacquer which
only needs to be wiped with a damp cloth. We recommend against using
oils, waxes or polishes as they may break down the quality of the
post catalyzed lacquer.
What
is post catalyzed lacquer?
In our final finish the catalyst (which is the strengthening and
hardening agent in the lacquer) is added just prior to application
and therefore it provides the hardest, toughest, most heat and water
resistant finish of any lacquer product available today. The post
catalyzed lacquer continues to cure for 21 days after the final
application although within one hour, the piece is ready to be handled.
When it comes to everyday use, our rule of thumb is, if something
is too hot to touch, don't put it directly on your furniture.
How
do you compare the different types of wood?
All woods are unique in their grain and durability and all will
last for generations. However, pine is a softwood and its outstanding
feature is knots. Oak, maple and cherry are all hardwoods, and each
one has its own unique grain and texture qualities. Generally speaking,
pine is less expensive than hardwood.
