Solid Wood Beds

A solid wood bed is a timeless and durable piece of furniture made entirely from solid pieces of wood, not engineered wood or particleboard. Unlike mass-produced furniture, these beds are made with premium materials like Rosewood and are handcrafted to ensure superior quality. Solid wood furniture, especially beds, plays an important role in bedroom aesthetics and comfort. The use of solid wood ensures strength, longevity, and a sense of tradition. Handmade craftsmanship guarantees uniqueness and materials like Rosewood are known for their rich, natural grain patterns, making each bed a masterpiece. These beds not only elevate your space but also become family heirlooms passed down through generations.

Maintenance and Care

General Care for Solid Wood Furniture

Solid wood furniture, like your Boston Mills pieces, is designed to last a lifetime when cared for properly. To preserve its beauty, avoid sliding or dragging the furniture, as it may damage the wood or floor. Always lift furniture from its base, and use felt pads or rubberized feet to protect the surface if it's resting on non-carpeted floors. Avoid direct sunlight, heat sources, and sudden humidity changes. Clean spills promptly and avoid standing or rocking on chairs.

Dusting and Cleaning

Regular dusting every two weeks prevents dirt from scratching the wood. Use a feather duster in the direction of the wood grain and follow up with a soft cloth. For more thorough cleaning, use a mild wood cleaner, avoiding harsh chemicals like wax, silicone, or ammonia. Always wipe gently in the grain direction.

Humidity and Lighting

Wood, including rosewood, expands and contracts with humidity, so maintaining a steady temperature (70°F-72°F) and humidity level (50-55%) is essential. Keep your furniture away from direct sunlight or UV rays to prevent fading and damage to the wood and any leather or upholstery.

Brass Inlay Care

Brass is durable but can tarnish over time. Keep the brass inlays of your furniture clean by wiping them gently with a damp cloth. For tougher grime, use a mild mix of washing-up liquid and water, followed by drying the surface thoroughly. Avoid household cleaners, as they can damage the brass surface.

Care for Solid Wood Beds with Brass Inlay

For your solid wood bed with brass inlay, follow the same care guidelines as other solid wood furniture. Keep the bed away from extreme humidity and direct sunlight, and use felt pads under the legs to prevent floor damage. For brass inlay, wipe gently with a soft cloth, and avoid harsh chemicals to preserve the finish. Regular dusting and cleaning will maintain the bed’s integrity and aesthetic for years to come.
