Terms are applied for specific materials as below:

Wood: wood furniture will have natural variation in grain and color as well as inherent characteristics such as mineral streaks, pitch pockets, striping, and insect markings. These are not considered quality defects. Slight variations in appearance may result from normal expansion and contraction of wood as it responds to climatic changes in the home.

Glass: minor scratches, small air bubbles, surface waviness, or lightly pitted areas occur naturally during glass manufacturing. These are not considered quality defects.

Fabric: natural variations occur during fabric manufacturing. They are not considered quality defects.

Leather: leather has natural wrinkles, marks, and scars. Variations in color and texture are genuine and natural features of leather.

Marble: natural stone is a product of nature and hence variation in color, pattern, texture, and thickness are inherent over and above the specifications. Due to limitations in photography and on-screen reproduction, actual products and photographs may differ. Photographs and samples are only intended to represent the general characteristics of color and texture of the natural product. The marble tables we carry are polished and sealed, however the sealer does wear down over time depending on how often the table is used. Customers may choose to reseal to prolong the lifespan of the surface.
