Furniture Essentials

Staining and Finishing Veneer Since veneer is real wood, it will accept stains and finishes much like solid wood. The choices of stains and finishes are many and each combination can yield a different outcome. Depending on the desired design of the product, some stains are hand applied, some are sprayed and some are sprayed and then wiped. The majority of stains used within our brands are solvent based, however, some of the stains are water based.

Typically, burls are not stained. The natural colors and patterns in the burls are usually so beautiful that applying a stain would be considered a travesty.

Care To ensure customers fully enjoy their purchase for many years to come, remember to review the care instructions with them at the time of purchase. In addition to the enclosed product information, you should share the following points. • Dust wood veneer regularly with a dry, soft cloth to keep it looking its best. Dust is abrasive. Left untreated it causes tiny scratches that dull the appearance of your furniture. • We recommend that the customer avoid using wax or oil-based polishes to prevent buildup.
