Further product information:
Oakhampton glazed bookcase with cupboard:The Oakhampton collection is good quality, fully-assembled solid timber furniture suitable for the home office or study. Cabinet and desk tops are of 20mm thick solid hardwood, as are the drawer fronts. Traditional methods of construction – including dovetailed drawer joints – result in a sturdily-built collection that will keep its looks and provide a lifetime of service.
Oakhampton Home Office furniture is made using a mixture of oak and ash timber, carefully selected and matched to produce attractive, hard wearing items of furniture.
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.
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.
