What are the cabinets, hampers, and benches made from?
Our cabinets/hampers, and pet products are made with a thermally fused laminate, which is FSC-certified, Rainforest Alliance-certified, and Anti-Microbial. Prior. Some of these items have a wood look, others are smooth.
Our small pieces, such as some internal components of the item may be made of engineered wood from Glacier Green, a certified green product.
Our stained items are Baltic Birch. We look for the best wood we can find to build your item. Our wood is certified from The Forest Stewardship Council® (FSC) a non-profit organization committed to encouraging the responsible management of the world’s forests. You can shop with us knowing the materials we use are sourced responsibly.
A little more about the look and feel:
Stained items are made from Baltic birch please expect occurrences from nature, including texture. This will have texture. There is no edge banding on wood furniture. Please look carefully at our pictures. Utilize the zoom function on your device. We work hard to ensure our pictures are accurate as well as our descriptions. The most distinctive feature of Baltic birch is that the edges are attractive, uniform stripes of hardwood veneer, usually alternating light and dark bands. Do not use abrasive materials, harsh chemicals, or essential oil-based cleaners. It will ruin the surface.
Our Modern door, solid color and wood-look cabinets are thermally fused laminate. Not only is this environmentally responsible but cleanable! No need to worry about damage from cleaning it. This is the same material used for many kitchen cabinets and closets.
- Thermally fused finished panels may be easily cleaned using a mild, non-abrasive, all-purpose cleaner and a soft cloth. Coffee, tea, or other difficult stains may be removed using a mild household detergent or a paste of baking soda and water (note: 10-20 strokes should remove most stains, excessive force or scrubbing may damage the surface)
- Harsh chemicals or abrasive materials should not be used. Should the surface come in contact with a drain, toilet, or oven cleaner immediately remove the chemical, rinse thoroughly, and wipe dry. Abrasives such as scouring pads or gritty cleansers may permanently dull and/or scratch the surface and result in future staining.
- Protect the surface from hot or sharp objects. Do not place hot cookware, dishes, or objects on the surface. Knives and other sharp objects used directly on the surface can also be damaging. Protect surfaces from heat with an insulating pad or trivet, and from sharp objects with a chopping block or counter protector
To clean your Farmhouse-style cabinet, use a soft cloth, warm water, and the tiniest amount of mild dish soap. Do not use abrasive materials, harsh chemicals or essential oil-based cleaners. It will ruin the surface. Our favorite cleaner? Behr cleaning wipes! When the item is painted, we use washable, cabinet paint in a semi-gloss finish paint.
Also, we advise using felt pads under decor to protect your finish.
