The Jamaica Rustic bedroom furniture is built to the highest specification. Features include: jointed and glued construction throughout; the use of tongue and groove solid wood panelling for drawer bases and cabinet backs.
The overall result is well-made furniture using the best of materials and the best methods of construction.
Sturdy antiqued metal handles and a distressed, rustic finish that avoids that ‘fresh from the workshops’ appearance produces furniture that looks as if it has been owned for many generations.
Despite such obvious features of quality, The Jamaica bedroom dresser represents unsurpassed value for money and will give sterling service for many years to come.
The collection comes fully assembled apart from some of the larger items, which will need basic assembly (completed by ourselves).
Furniture finishes: wooden furniture
There are two main types of furniture finish waxed and lacquered.
Waxing furniture involves coating the wooden furniture with a thin layer of the wax, such as the Mexican Range. The majority of people who request a wax finish for their wooden furniture are seeking the rustic furniture look, which is exactly what waxed furniture gives you!
If you are seeking a cleaner, more perfectly finished look then you should consider a lacquered finish. The Jamaica Rustic range is a popular choice for lacquered furniture.
There are emerging ranges such as the increasingly popular Contemporary collection that are designed to offer a specific modern appearance. Another fine example is The American Rustic range, which is made from reclaimed wood.
Wooden furniture: rustic or perfect?
Wooden furniture will naturally expand and contract within its environment, with naturally occurring cracks because of this. Furniture lacquer acts as a glue, seal and filler helping to prevent the wooden furniture from cracking. So, lacquered furniture will crack less than waxed. Wooden furniture will expand and contract within its environment, and as back and chest of drawer bases are made from interlocking wooden boards, these may show some shrinkage as the wooden furniture ages. This is quite normal, particularly in centrally heated homes. You can care for your chest of drawers by ensuring it’s placed away from direct heat sources (such as radiators).
