PRODUCT SPECIFICATIONS

Each individual piece in our furniture Collections is made to replicate antique/reclaimed wood parts and pieces, which means each item is unique. To provide this look, cracks, knots, knotholes, splits and uneven rubbed edges are purposely left intact from original pieces of wood and in many instances additional man-made distressing is given to emphasize its rustic charm. These are not product defects but unique features that add beauty and character.

Accordingly, expansion or shrinkage, small cracks and wood imperfection are inherent qualities of our product. Variation is what makes each piece unique, natural and exclusive.

PRODUCT FINISH

Since differences in the natural wood color and grain do affect the finish, it is impossible to guarantee an exact match between two pieces of wood even though identical finishing processes are used. These differences in wood finishes are not defects, but variations that make each piece unique and distinctive.

The purchase of our product by the Dealer implies a full understanding of the inherent imperfections if IFD’s hand made product line, as well as the effect that climatic conditions have on this type of furniture, and it is the Dealer’s responsibility to communicate this to their customer.
