The Trafalgar Rustic Oak range, sometimes called American Oak, offers furniture designed and constructed to very high standards whilst being finished in a style that evokes the tremendous durability and longevity of this magnificent timber.
Rather than the pristine clean edges and unblemished surface of a just-made piece, Trafalgar Rustic Oak bears the slightly rounded edges and occasional surface marks suggestive of many years of sterling service.
It is ideally suited to those seeking the quality and ease of care of modern furniture, but without that ‘fresh from the workshop’ appearance.
The collection comes fully assembled; some items may need basic assembly to allow for delivery.
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.
Oak furniture characteristics
What should you expect from your oak furniture purchase from rightpricefurniture? Oak is a natural material with beautiful variations of grain patter, knots and colour in every piece of furniture. So, no two pieces of oak furniture you buy from this website will be exactly alike.
Oak furniture (along with most other hard woods) tends to crack and split as it ages, giving the furniture a beautifully unique look.
You’ll also find that your oak furniture will gradually mellow (darken) in colour over time, so new oak furniture will initially look paler that older oak furniture. Because of this, for the first few months after you’ve bought your oak furniture, rightpricefurniture advise that you do not leave a vase, ornament or other item in one place on the oak for too long, as the area of furniture covered will mellow less that the surrounding area.

Oak Furniture care tips, from rightpricefurniture
Oak furniture care tips include ensuring that neither hot nor wet objects are placed on waxed oak furniture, as they can cause marks on the oak. If you should accidentally cause a heat or damp mark on your oak furniture, try rubbing the furniture’s surface gently along the grain only with some wax oak furniture polish applied to a piece of 0000 grade (very fine) wire wool. Provided that the marking is not too serious, this process should reduce or eliminate the mark and your
oak furniture will be as good as new once more. It may be necessary to extend your wire wool and wax treatment to the whole surface of the oak furniture in order to even out the sheen of the finish.
