Use a dampened, soft, non-abrasive, lint-free colourless cloth to wipe the entire surface of your wood, moving in the direction of the grain.
Dry the wood using a second non-abrasive cloth. Remember to wipe in the direction of the wood grain.
You do not need to polish the wood as part of your regular maintenance, but polishing can restore the wood's natural shine if it begins to look dull.
Never use wax-based polish or ammonia-based cleaning products on your wood.

What makes a good designer desk?
Above all else, quality construction is the most important characteristic of a contemporary desk. Careful design is also essential to a good-quality office desk, for storage etc... Desks must of course be strong to stand up against everyday use.
How much is a good desk?
A high-quality home office desk will have more expensive materials, design and finish. Therefore most high--end desks will fall around £900 to £2,500. The benefits of a good desk far outweigh the negatives. It will last much longer, and this in the long run saves you money. Not only this but, higher-priced options will also have more customisation options available.
Which Gubi chair works best with the Private desk?
The iconic Gubi Beetle Chair by GamFratesi is the perfect Gubi chair for the Private Desk. It is very comfortable. Its durable outer shell is a continuous, curved form and flexes gently to its user's posture. It also has no arms and so tucks all the way under the desk.
What inspired the Private Collection for Gubi designed by Space Copenhagen?
Space Copenhagen was inspired by the simplicity and craftsmanship of antique Japanese furniture. The Private collection carries the typical characteristics of Japanese wood joinery.
How do you care for oak veneer furniture?
Keep your oak veneer surfaces clean and dirt-free. Also avoid leaving dust, moisture and grease to set into the grain. Do not use any strong cleaning products, wood oils/wax, solvent or aerosol-based substances on the surface. Warm water and natural soap are the only products you should use to clean your oak veneer.
