Arhaus collections are crafted by artisans from around the world and are expertly designed to withstand everyday use. However, as even the best-made furnishings and décor are not indestructible, normal wear and tear will reflect use and care.
Artisan-crafted reclaimed wood will vary in color, pattern, shape and texture, highlighted by unique details related to its history. Small splits, knots, joint lines, or other features will not affect the quality or performance of your piece.
Arhaus finishes may change over time, and natural wood may display small splits, knots, joint lines, or other features that will add character to your piece without affecting its quality or performance.
Carefully dust reclaimed wood surfaces with a soft, dry, undyed cloth to remove any particles or loose dirt.
Occasionally apply furniture wax to maintain reclaimed wood finishes.
Before waxing, ensure surfaces are clean and dry. Apply wax in small sections along the wood’s grain.
After the wax has dried, buff surfaces to achieve the desired sheen.
Do not clean using abrasives, harsh, corrosive chemicals, or care products containing ammonia or silicone, as these could damage finishes and surfaces.
Furniture made from natural wood may move slightly as temperature and humidity cause the wood to expand and contract. This is normal and should be expected from season to season.
Never place hot dishes directly on wood surfaces as this could cause scorching. Similarly, prolonged use of hot electrical equipment may also cause scorching.
Protect surfaces from incidental marks (like scratching, scorching, and water marks) by using coasters, trivets, felt pads, and non-plastic mats. Wipe up spills immediately with a soft, dry, undyed cloth.
Avoid placing indoor furnishings in direct sunlight or near sources of heat or moisture, as this could cause cracking or changes in finishes.
Lift wood furniture when moving. Do not drag, as this could loosen joinery and damage your piece.
Ensure your furniture sits in a level position to ensure the longevity of your piece, as frames tend to warp if standing on an uneven surface.
