Both are hard woods, sourced from sustainable, government managed plantations. Being a hard wood, you can be assured that this practical furniture can deal with the stresses and strains of everyday use and still look stunning.

Managed Forests

Acacia wood is grown in managed forests in India. The trees grow quickly and are cut after approximately between 8-10 years of growth, under government-approved forestry schemes, before being sawn in approved mills and transported to the production unit. Our manufacturer has recently installed a saw mill in his factory so now this is done in house.

Wood Teatment

Once in the factory, the wood is chemically treated to get rid of any bugs or pests, before being transferred to a drying chamber where the moisture content is reduced to approximately 8-10%. This is a much more effective and reliable form of drying than the drying in the sun that is more commonly used. By drying the wood properly, the future risk of movement & cracking in the wood is reduced considerably.

Craftsmanship

The sawn wood is then given a uniform thickness, planed, joined and glued to produce uniform planks. These planks are then used by our skilled craftsmen to make the individual items. Once completed, each item is sanded and any joints are smoothed before being passed for finishing.

Our furniture is either hand finished with wax or sealed with lacquer according to the specification for the individual range.

Quality Control

Quality Control checks are carried out throughout the entire production process as the product passes from one department to another throughout from start to finish. This creates a completely transparent chain of responsibility and ensures every piece is finished to the highest standard.

Packaging

Finally, the furniture is individually wrapped in three layers of protective packaging before being put in cartons. The container is then stuffed at the factory and checked by the Indian Authorities where the doors are sealed until the shipment reaches our warehouse.

Various other types of woods are also available on request.
