| FAQ's |
| Where do your
products originate ? |
| Mostly from India. We have, from time to
time, brought products from Indonesia, China and the
Philippines. |
| What wood do you
use ? |
|
We use different
kinds of hard woods, depending on the item being
manufactured. Sheesham (she sham) botanical name
dalbergia latifolia is the wood of choice for the
majority of our production. A rosewood indigenous to
India, it is hard, durable, heavy, has a densely packed
grain, with warm rich tones. Other woods used are
Acacia, Mango and Teak. |
| Is your wood
seasoned ? |
| All our wood is pressure treated to remove
infestation. Subsequently, to prevent warping it is
seasoned, using the kiln dry process to lower the
moisture content to 7, 8%. |
| What about
construction and finish ? |
|
We realize quality
of construction and craftsmanship defines the appeal of
each furniture piece. The wood joinery and finishing
techniques used reveal the long lasting durability of
our furniture. Tongue and groove and mortise and tenon
joinery are used extensively. Wood is then stained,
sealed and a protection coat is applied to the finished
piece. No item is passed until it goes thru a detailed
inspection, a rigorous
process. |
| How do you
package ? |
|
What good is a
product if it arrives damaged at your or your customer's
door? Depending on the item, we generously use a
combination of foam sheets, bubble wrap, foam corners
and finally the product is packed in pressure tested
corrugated sheets or
boxes. |
| Are finishes in
collections identical ? |
|
Our product is
rustic and hand finished. Pieces will have a consistent
overall look; however there will be some variance. Wood
grain, texture and tones will vary from piece to piece
due to the nature of the wood and its hand finished
processing. The look will be similar, without being
identical, which gives it that "one-of-a-kind"
distinction. |
| What is
considered natural distress ? |
|
Natural cracks
within the wood, knots, indentations and other
superficial imperfections, all constitute natural
distress. Since our furniture is hand made there are
elements of that process of construction (such as filled
nail holes etc.) which are visible, upon close
inspection. That blends in with the look of our
furniture and adds to the rustic
charm. |
| When do you bring
out new lines ? |
|
Our in-house design
staff is continuously studying trends, directions and
demographics. Based on their research and feedback new
products are constantly being introduced and added to
already established lines. You will usually see such
introductions before
market. |
| How long do you
take to process an order ? |
|
After an order is
finalized, normally about three months for container
orders. All items in stock in our warehouse are shipped
within one week. |
| Does the Home
Company sell to the public ? |
|
No we do not sell
to the public. We wholesale only to the trade and
require a valid tax-exempt number. If you are an
individual interested in our furniture you may contact
our main office for a list of dealers in your area who
carry Home Company
products. |
| Do you take
custom orders ? |
|
Yes if the quantity
is large enough. Our design staff will work with you to
create what you have in mind. Before production starts
we will ship you samples if so desired. These items will
not be sold to the general public for a mutually agreed
upon time period. Customers who have gone this route
report excellent sales due to the exclusivity of
designs. |
| What are your
strengths as a furniture manufacturer ? |
|
Proven saleable
products at a price a consumer can afford, built with
pride and confidence. An organization at the forefront
of design and craftsmanship, a company where promise and
performance always comes
together. |

Wood care &
Maintenance |
|
Waxing &
Polishing |
|
From time to time
the furniture will need to be waxed. This should be done
using a soft cloth and beeswax, which you should then
buff using a soft lint-free cloth. Always work in the
grain, and do no use silicon-based sprays or polish.
|
| Spills & Stains |
|
Although our
furniture is dry-kilned and treated, we advise you not
to place anything hot or wet directly onto the surface
as staining may occur, so try to use protective mats or
coasters. Should you spill any food or liquid on the
wood, wipe it off immediately with a dry cloth. If the
wood becomes marked, gently rub it down with extra fine
wire wool in the direction of the grain, and restore the
finish using beeswax. |
| Direct Sunlight |
|
Position your
furniture away from direct sunlight and head, where
practicable. This will protect the wood from fading, and
help avoid any cracking and movement in the joints.
