FAQ
ABOUT OUR FURNITURE
All our furniture and objects are designed and handcrafted in our workshop in Saint-André-de-Kamouraska, in the Bas-Saint-Laurent region of Quebec. We work on a small scale, using fine woodworking techniques that allow for meticulous attention to materials, joinery, and details.
Yes. Our furniture is made from carefully selected solid wood. Depending on the model, different species are available, including sugar maple, cherry, red oak, and black walnut.
In some cases, we also offer Douglas fir, a lightweight, strong, and durable wood. Douglas fir is distinguished by its pronounced grain and warm hues ranging from rosy blond to honey brown. Its mechanical properties and stability make it a particularly suitable wood for furniture.
Sourced from responsibly managed forests, it also offers an interesting ecological choice due to its rapid growth, durability, and light weight.
Wood is a natural material. Each piece has its own grain, color variations, and unique characteristics. Slight differences between your furniture and the photos displayed on the website are therefore normal and are part of the unique character of each piece.
Yes. Wood samples are available for many of our collections. If you are unsure about which wood type to choose or want to confirm a color, please do not hesitate to contact us before placing your order.

MAINTENANCE
We apply a non-toxic and biodegradable finish suitable for normal use. For daily maintenance, simply wipe the surface with a clean, soft cloth, without any cleaning products or abrasives.
If the surface is damaged, most unpigmented wipe-on oils can be applied directly to the surface. We do not recommend applying varnish over our finishes.
Yes. Like any natural material, wood can change over time and with exposure to light. Natural variations in color and grain are part of the material's character.
INSTALLATION AND ASSEMBLY
This depends on the model. When assembly is required, we provide the necessary hardware and assembly instructions. Some models are designed for use without assembly.
Our wall shelves are designed to be relatively simple to install. Hardware and instructions are provided, and installation videos are available for some models.
When possible, we strongly recommend aligning the shelving uprights with the structural studs in the wall. If this is not possible, anchors suitable for the type of wall must be used. Our shelving uprights have pre-drilled holes for wall mounting, and then the brackets and shelves are installed.
Here are links to explanatory videos for assembling the shelves and desks:
Hardware and instructions are included when assembly or installation is required. However, for wall-mounted furniture, the appropriate type of fixing may depend on the nature of your wall.
RETURNS, REPAIRS AND AFTER-SALES SERVICE
As our furniture is made to order, changes of mind or returns are generally not possible for custom pieces or those specifically manufactured for your order.
If you have a particular situation concerning an order, please contact us and we will see what can be done.
If your order arrives damaged, please contact us promptly with photos of the furniture, packaging, and the damage found. This will allow us to assess the situation and determine with you the best way to resolve the issue.
We do not offer a warranty that would indiscriminately cover all variations, signs of wear, or damage related to the use of the furniture.
However, we manufacture our furniture to last a long time, and we place great importance on its repairability. If a problem occurs with your furniture, please contact us. We will assess the situation and, when possible, prioritize repairing or replacing the affected part.
Even after several years, do not hesitate to contact us. We are a small company, and we want our furniture to be usable for as long as possible. Depending on the situation, we can advise you on a repair or a way to restore the furniture.
