Further product information:
Devonshire Pine Tarka 3' Bed with High Foot End:The Tarka range is one of a series of pine furniture ranges made in the UK by Devonshire Pine Ltd. This high quality pine furniture is fully assembled and exhibits quality features such as timber panelling to cabinet backs and drawer bases and dovetail joints for drawer construction.
Tarka furniture has a clean, simple styling; though the quality is evident with, for example, the use of decorative edgings to door and panel rebates and the use of raised and fielded door panels.
All Devonshire Pine ranges are supplied fully assembled, although some larger items such as tables, beds and wardrobes may be partially dismantled to facilitate delivery.
The standard finishes for this range are Classic Wax and Rustic Wax. All other finishes are special order items.
Important information This bed is a large item of furniture. In its fully assembled form it would be extremely difficult, if not impossible, to gain access with it into most of the rooms chosen for its use. It is therefore supplied partially dismantled into four or five major assemblies. This has been a common practice for beds since medieval times. Re-assembly of this bed is a relatively straightforward procedure requiring only basic tools. If however you require assistance, please tell the delivery service when they contact you to arrange the delivery date. Please note there is a charge for this service.
Care of pine furniture
Pine furniture care: here are some tips from rightpricefurniture. Firstly, place your newly bought pine furniture in the right location: away from direct heat sources (e.g. radiators) or unusually humid locations.
Our second pine furniture care tip is to always lift your furniture if you want to move it, rather than dragging furniture across the floor. Pine is a soft wood and so lifting your furniture to move it will ensure you don’t damage the plinth structure.
Thirdly, don’t place hot or wet objects directly onto pine furniture, especially if it is waxed pine furniture. If you accidentally cause any marks on your pine furniture in this way, try rubbing your pine furniture along the grain with some wax furniture polish applied to some very fine (0000 grade) wire wool.

Furniture finishes: wooden furniture
There are two main types of furniture finish waxed and lacquered.
Waxing furniture involves coating the wooden furniture with a thin layer of the wax, such as the
Devonshire Pine Collection. The majority of people who request a wax finish for their wooden furniture are seeking the rustic furniture look, which is exactly what waxed furniture gives you!
If you are seeking a cleaner, more perfectly finished look then you should consider a lacquered finish. The
Devonshire New Solid Oak range is a popular choice for lacquered furniture.
There are emerging ranges such as the increasingly popular
Trafalgar Oak Collection that are designed to offer a specific rustic appearance. Another fine example is
The Hampshire collection which is made from reclaimed wood.
