Furniture
Artek furniture is lacquered to create a good and durable surface.
When assembling the product, it is important to tighten the screws carefully all the way, so that the legs do not wobble and the product becomes stable. It is a good idea to check and retighten the screws after 2–3 months, as dry air can cause the wood to shrink and the screws to loosen.
Protect and care
Protect the lacquered surface from moisture and sharp, hard or abrasive materials and objects. Wipe the product using a soft cloth dampened with a solution of water, or if needed, with a mild and neutral detergent. Dry the surface after wiping to eliminate any remaining moisture. During use, dry away any moisture or liquid immediately.
Discoloration
To prevent discoloration, avoid coffee or red wine stains on the product’s surface and be careful with textiles which might bleed color, like jeans. If you leave appliances on the surface, replace rubber pads with felt or another material that does not stain.
Unique pieces
Due to the characteristic features of wood products, each product is unique and differences in color tones may appear between products.
