Devonshire New Solid Oak 5 Drawer Wellington Chest

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. You can view a guide to choosing Solid Oak Furniture.

Chests of drawers from rightpricefurniture are of the highest quality and are made from solid wood.   Wooden furniture will expand and contract within its environment, and as back and chest of drawer bases are made from interlocking wooden boards, these may show some shrinkage as the wooden furniture ages.  This is quite normal, particularly in centrally heated homes.  You can care for your chest of drawers by ensuring it’s placed away from direct heat sources (such as radiators).

To combat this contraction and expansion some of the higher end furniture manufactures offer tongue and groove bases, examples include Devonshire Tarka Pine Furniture and the Badger Pine Collections.
