Further product information:
Oakhampton Wardrobe with Drawer: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.
Wardrobes: Important information
This wardrobe is a large, heavy item of furniture that is difficult to manoeuvre in its entirety. Due to the risks of causing damage to property or injury to persons this wardrobe is therefore supplied partially dismantled for delivery. It is designed to be partially dismantled and this does not detract from its quality, nor does it classify it as ‘flat pack furniture.’ In fact this is a practice that top quality furniture makers have been using since the middle of the 19th Century.
If you require assistance with re-assembly of this wardrobe, please tell the delivery service when they contact you to arrange the delivery date. Please note there is a charge for this service.
Care of oak furniture
Oak furniture care: here are some tips from rightpricefurniture. Firstly, place your newly bought oak furniture in the right location: away from direct heat sources (e.g. radiators) or unusually humid locations.
Our second oak furniture care tip is to always lift your furniture if you want to move it, rather than dragging furniture across the floor. Lifting your furniture to move it will ensure you don’t damage the plinth structure.
You should not place hot or wet objects directly onto oak furniture, especially if it is waxed oak furniture. If you accidentally cause any marks on your oak furniture in this way, try rubbing your oak furniture along the grain with some wax furniture polish applied to some very fine (0000 grade) wire wool.

Oak Furniture.
Ash furniture finishes
Ash furniture is generally available in three types of finish. They are:
1. White or sometimes referred to as raw. Raw means that the ash furniture has no stain or topcoat – just a naturally beautiful look
2. Lacquered. The ash furniture has been stained to a colour of choice and then a clear lacquer is added. This gives the ash furniture a tougher shell which makes it far more resistant to stains, moisture and scratches. This type of finish is the easiest to maintain and clean for ash furniture. The
Devonshire New Solid Oak Dining is Lacquered
3. Waxed. Our waxed ash furniture is finished in water-based stain and real wax. Waxed ash furniture will benefit from the occasional application of solid wax furniture polish, particularly in its first few months in your home. The sheen of the surface on the ash furniture will probably increase as you apply and buff more furniture wax. Between wax applications, day-to-day ash furniture cleaning can be carried out with a dry duster. The
Devonshire Tarka Range is available in a waxed finish.
