Are solid wood furniture difficult to maintain?
Are solid wood furniture difficult to maintain?
We have tried our best to select the best quality timber available on the market as raw materials.
So maintenance is actually simpler than you think! Follow these key points to keep your furniture looking new for years to come:
🌞 Avoid direct sunlight
Prolonged exposure to sunlight will draw moisture from the wood, causing it to dry out, crack, and warp.
It is recommended to place furniture in a location that avoids direct sunlight, or to use curtains to adjust the light.
💧 Daily cleaning
Regularly wipe the surface gently with a slightly damp, soft cloth to keep the furniture clean and shiny.
Do not use an overly wet cloth, as this may allow moisture to seep into the wood.
🔥 Heat insulation protection
Avoid placing excessively hot items (such as hot pots or kettles) directly on wooden surfaces, as this may damage the protective oil layer.
It is recommended to use a heat-resistant mat or table mat.
⚠️ Avoid chemicals
Do not allow the wooden surface to come into contact with chemical cleaners, solvents, or soak in liquids for extended periods, as this may damage the protective layer.
If liquid is spilled, wipe it dry immediately.
🛠️ Long-term skincare secrets:
After prolonged use, you can reapply a layer of wood wax oil to the surface. This will not only restore the furniture's natural luster but also extend its lifespan, allowing your solid wood furniture to be passed down through generations.
Does your furniture release toxic fumes?
Does your furniture release toxic fumes?
Formaldehyde and other harmful substances in furniture mainly originate from adhesives used in the manufacturing process. Medium-density fiberboard (MDF) and particleboard, among other engineered wood products, use large amounts of formaldehyde-containing adhesives during production.
Our commitment:
✓ Made of natural solid wood, the raw materials themselves contain no glue.
✓ Use only a small amount of environmentally friendly adhesive in necessary processes (such as when assembling large tabletops).
✓ The release of harmful gases is extremely low, far below industry standards.
💡 You might smell a faint, natural wood scent from the new furniture; this is the aroma of natural solid wood. The smell will usually dissipate naturally after being left in a well-ventilated environment for a few days. This is precisely the difference between real wood and engineered wood products.
What is your policy on compensation for delayed shipments?
What is your policy on compensation for delayed shipments?
As part of our service commitment, if your order has not been delivered more than 7 business days after the estimated delivery date indicated in your order confirmation email , we will provide a US$20 gift card as compensation for the delayed shipment.
✅ If the delay can be reasonably attributed to noumi's delays in production arrangements, shipping processing, or logistics coordination , and does not include force majeure factors (such as customs clearance delays, weather, flight/ship schedule adjustments, port congestion, local regulations, or holiday impacts), we will proactively provide the aforementioned compensation for delayed shipment.
The number of days of delay will be calculated based on the earliest possible delivery date displayed by the logistics system . If the delay is caused by the recipient's factors (such as inability to meet the delivery time, incomplete address information, etc.), it will not be covered by the delayed delivery compensation.

Why does the color of my furniture change over time?
Why does the color of my furniture change over time?
Just as no two leaves in the world are exactly alike, every piece of wood has a unique grain and color. The actual product you receive may naturally differ from the image shown on the page in terms of grain distribution or tone.
Despite our rigorous selection and color matching of raw materials during the production process, you may still see the following natural characteristics:
These are all normal phenomena of natural solid wood, which are precisely the embodiment of its precious value and do not constitute quality defects.
Every natural mark is a gift from nature, making your furniture a unique work of art.
💝 We believe you will cherish this natural warmth and texture just as much as we do.
Some types of wood (such as cherry and walnut) will naturally oxidize over time, gradually deepening their color or becoming more lustrous. This is proof that solid wood is "alive," and it is also part of its charm.
Due to batch variations, customers who purchased a package deal may experience slight color discrepancies between the two items received. This is not a color difference, but rather a natural characteristic of cherry wood to darken over time; the color will gradually become more uniform with use and oxidation.
