DFP Oakhampton Ash Bedroom Range
The Oakhampton range is made from solid hardwoods. Oak is used exclusively on smaller items while larger furniture features solid oak and ash attractively matched together.
Cabinets and tables are of jointed and glued construction and solid wood panelling is used for drawer bases and cabinet backs.
Drawers are made using dovetailed joints and are mounted on traditional wooden runners. Oakhampton furniture is finished in a low-gloss lacquer.
Oakhampton is sometimes referred to as Oakleigh, click to the
Oakleigh Bedroom Collection.
It is a fully assembled range although some larger items such as beds and wardrobes may be partially dismantled to facilitate delivery.
Please note: Much of the hardwood used for furniture manufactured in Asia may be described locally as Oak. While its appearance, density and durability is almost identical to oak, sometimes this timber is actually from the Ash (Fraxinus) family. In order to be as accurate as possible, we therefore market this furniture as being made from Ash, even though the manufacturer’s packaging may say Oak.
0805 Shock Resistant Ash
Ash is a native hardwood of the UK. It is easily recognised by the grey bark and matt black buds for the leaves. It is a shockproof timber which is why it used to be used for the spokes of cartwheels and for tool handles, such as hammers, axes and so forth. During the 20th century ash was also used as the frame for the bodywork of a great number of vehicles, the most obvious example is perhaps the Morris Minor Traveller which has an external ash frame to the rear part. Many other makes of car also used this system of construction, such as Alvis, Riley and Rover.
