FAQ - Juniper

FAQ

Yes, all the Juniper items on the website are sold as shown with no customization. However you can use the Hospitality/Customs Inquiry page to start a request for quote for a customized version of any of the styles we sell. Pricing and delivery dates will vary.

Deliveries from 2 different shipments cannot be guaranteed to be an exact match as variations may occur in different production lots. The customer should be aware that all dye lots, finishes and sizes are subject to variation between orders and cannot be guaranteed.

Although inspired by nature, our Juniper furniture is not suitable for the outdoors unless it is specified as Outdoor furniture.

Swatch kits are available for each product online via the website. The swatch kit includes individual swatches of the all main materials used for the specific product: fabric, metal and wood. They can be mailed via 3 different FedEx options to the mailing address used in the checkout process. Please allow up to 2 weeks to process a swatch request. All our items are hand crafted and variances can occur on man-made and natural materials as well as finished product. Some of our finishes utilize random technique and “artistic” touches, which cannot accurately be represented or exactly reproduced on this size sample and should only serve as a guide.

Juniper products are sold with a limited one year warranty against manufacturing defects. Juniper will replace or repair at its sole discretion any component part of the furniture as a result of a defect in material or workmanship.

Juniper does not warrant against:

  • Damage in shipping or transit
  • Woods or veneers aging over time
  • Marks in leather
  • Pitting or cracks in marble
  • Scratching, etching or water stains on marble
  • Failure from use or abuse or normal wear and tear

  • Furniture that has been exposed to extreme weather conditions or improper storage.
  • Loss of time, inconvenience, commercial loss, or incidental damages.

Wood

Juniper wood furniture is protected with a high quality polyurethane coating. The finish provides a highly durable barrier to many common elements, however any finish will breakdown from intense prolonged heat and light exposure or unusual abuse.

 Always use a soft, clean cloth dampened to dust wood furniture and wipe according the direction of the grain. Do not use soap and water directly on wood furniture as the water will penetrate the surface and cause damage. Never use abrasive cleaners or household cleaning productions on any finished product. In most cases, spills should be wiped up with a dry soft clean cloth, wipe again with a damp clean cloth. Waxing and detergents are not required and totally prohibited.

 

Stone


Care consists of warm water and a soft cloth.  We strongly recommend NOT applying any solvent based cleaners or using any abrasive products that may scratch or etch the surface.

 

Stainless Steel

Stainless Steel surfaces should be wiped over with a clean cloth and warm water with a mild detergent on a frequent and routine basis. For more stubborn dirt or stains use mild, non-scratching abrasive powders such as typical household cleaners. These can be used with warm water, bristle brushes, sponges or clean cloths. Cleaning should always be immediately with a dry towel.

 

Brass-lacquered, Metal painted or powder coated

Finished metal surfaces should be cleaned with cloth moistened with soapy water or alternatively wiped over with a soft cloth with beeswax. Under no circumstances use any form of metal cleaner or aerosol sprays, which will damage or remove the lacquer finish.

 

Brass-un-lacquered

Un-lacquered brass is not treated and will patina over time. Simply use a damp cloth to remove dust.

 

Shell, horn, bone

Shell, horn, bone and other natural materials are available with or without a light resin coating. If unfinished do not apply any solvent based cleaners. Use a damp cloth to clean. Resin coated items are resistant to staining and should also be cleaned with a soft damp cloth.

 

Lacquered Wood

Dust regularly with slightly damp lint free cloth to retain the glossy surface. If the lacquer surface becomes dull over time, light buffing with car polish and a lint free cloth will remove the dust and buildup

 

Upholstery

Before attempting to clean a spill, spot or stain refer to COM/COL vendor cleaning instructions. For Eric Brand provided textiles professionally dry clean only. To maintain cushions properly fluff seat and back cushions frequently.

 

Glass

For standard float glass or low-iron glass all standard glass cleaners are acceptable.

 

Leather and vinyl

For regular care and cleaning, dust periodically with a dry cloth to remove residual dust and dirt from building up. No harsh cleaners, solvents, bleaches, abrasives, synthetic detergents, wax polishes or aerosol should ever be used, as they could abrade the finish or topcoat off the article.

For stubborn stains and spills, a lightly damp cloth with warm water should be blotted on the stain to lift and remove it. If this does not work, a mild soap and water solution (Palmolive or Dawn) should be mixed and then blotted to release the stain and then blot again with dry cloth. This should never be done heavily or in a scrubbing motion. Some finishes may not be suitable for this method so it should be spot tested and allowed to dry before overall use.

  • Do use place-mats or other protective items when eating or working on furniture surface.

  • Do not drop the furniture.
  • Do not write on thin paper over the surface of the furniture without protective pad or other protective buffer.
