Understanding furniture materials

Northline Workshop is a fictional furniture workshop used only for software acceptance testing. Solid wood furniture has natural variation in grain and colour. Veneer is a thin layer of wood applied to a supporting panel. A finished surface needs care appropriate to its finish. Ask the furniture maker for the maintenance instructions for the exact piece before using a new cleaning product. The purpose of this guide is to explain common material terms. It does not certify a material, provide a warranty, or claim a specific environmental benefit. The website also includes practical guides on desk measurements and everyday furniture care.
