BEAUTY IN A NATURAL WAY
In a very real sense, every piece of Navilo furniture, whether made of solid hardwood or veneer panel construction, is an original, with its own distinct beauty and personality. This is because wood grain and color naturally vary from one piece of furniture to another. The richness of wooden furniture is a perfect example of "unity in diversity."

Part of this beauty is due to the special characteristics of wood as a material. Its physical features can differ even within a single forest species, depending on natural and environmental conditions both inside and outside each growing tree. At Navilo, we appreciate these subtle factors that make each tree special and unique. This is why our furniture designs successfully express and enhances the natural beauty of wood.

At the same time, Navilo's strict quality control methods pinpoint and eliminate any defects that might compromise the natural strength of wood. Many weak spots and other irregularities in wood are due to knots or other certain parts of the tree, which will not be used in our furniture.

For the same reasons, every tree has its own grain pattern. The combination of sunlight, soil and climate that shapes one tree never happens quite the same way for another. Wood color also varies, depending on the age of the tree when it is harvested.

TAKING CARE OF YOUR FURNITURE
Navilo™furniture is designed for years and decades of usage. Wood is alive and reacts to changes, just the way humans do, so give it tender loving care. While our fine finishes are very durable and do not require special upkeep, there are a few simple facts you should bear in mind.

6 WAYS TO ENSURE LONG LASTING BEAUTY FOR FURNITURE
• Never use window cleaner on furniture. Ammonia will damage the finish. Do not use commercial waxes and polishes which may cause yellowing.
• Never write directly on the surface.
• Keep furniture out of direct sunlight to prevent discoloration.
• Do not place rubber base objects directly on furniture tops.
• Maintain uniform humidity to prevent cracking.
• Do not place hot serving dishes, plates or appliances on surface.
