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.
0802 Ash Furniture Fact
One of the chief qualities of ash and ash timber is that it is shock resistant. This means it can withstand movement and vibration without splitting or cracking as easily as some timbers.
This quality meant that ash wood was traditionally reserved for making such things as wheel spokes for wagons and handles for tools such as hammers and axes.
Also as it can be burnt ‘green’ without seasoning or drying, it was also popular as firewood.
1303 Bedside Cabinets An Interresting History
Most people born in the UK after 1945 will never have known just what it was like to live in a house with no bathroom and where the toilet was in a shed at the end of the garden.
This was the standard way of life for the majority of the population so, given the distance and inconvenience of visiting the toilet late at night, most people then had chamber pots in their bedrooms.
The problem with this was that it then had to be stored somewhere. Some people put the chamber pot under the bed but others often bought small cupboards to contain the chamber pots and placed these cupboards by their beds - hence the birth of the bedside cabinet or nightstand.
