Polished Aluminium

Care Instructions:
– Wipe with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust.

Natural Fibres (Cotton, Viscose, Wool, Virgin Wool, Linen)

Care Instructions:
– For regular cleaning, vacuum upholstery with a soft brush attachment to remove dust and debris.
– Spot clean stains with a mild detergent and a damp cloth. Avoid soaking the fabric to prevent water damage.
– If removable, machine wash covers according to the care label. Use cold water and a gentle detergent.
– Air dry completely before reusing. For non-removable covers, blot excess moisture and let air dry.
– Store in a dry, cool place and avoid direct sunlight to prevent fading. Use protective covers for long-term storage.

Why It Matters:
Proper care helps maintain the fabric’s natural properties, ensuring sturdiness and appearance while preventing damage from improper cleaning or storage.

Care Instructions:

– Allow to air dry completely. Avoid high heat.
– Store in a cool, dry place away from sunlight. Ensure the fabric is dry before covering to prevent mildew.

Why It Matters:
Care for synthetic fibres helps maintain their durability and appearance, preventing damage and extending their lifespan.

Vinyl

Care Instructions:
– Wipe clean with a damp cloth for regular maintenance.
– Use a mild soap solution for stubborn stains.
– Avoid abrasive cleaners and excessive moisture.

Why It Matters:
Proper care helps maintain vinyl’s smooth, shiny surface and extends its lifespan, ensuring it remains attractive and user-friendly.

Polypropylene

Care Instructions:
– Wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap to clean.
– Avoid abrasive cleaners and scrubbing.
– Dry with a soft, lint-free cloth.

        Excellent product but more importantly during these difficult times was the customer service level and great delivery team ....

        take note Heal’s as you’ve not got a clue how to service customers

        Olson + Baker were wonderful to deal with.

        We purchased our item (a beautiful coat hook) but had to delay delivery due to a trip overseas.

        We weren't dealing with an automated system, just real people who cared enough to help.

        Lovely website, great communication, fast delivery and they came in at a price other shops couldn't compete with on the chair I was after.

        Easily recommended.

        Bought some lovely wine glasses as a gift, quick delivery, great customer service and high quality product.

        Would definitely buy from Olson and Baker again.

        Excellent communication and speedy delivery...

        Couldn't have been better and will certainly buy from the company again.

        The service is superb and the website is so intuitive! 10 out of 10! :D Lee

        It has been an absolute pleasure buying a lovely piece of furniture from Olsen + Baker. Russell has been a delight to deal with, keeping me informed at every step of the delivery, even down to which colour would fit with my decor - nothing was too much.

        I can’t recommend highly enough.

        First class service.

        The Olson Baker team continue to deliver outstanding advice and product knowledge.

        Recently purchased a Nordic Style candle holder, which I had admired at a recent stay at a holiday home in Norfolk.  Product arrived very quickly. Contact via email from Jonathan. Excellent customer service and a gorgeous product too.

        Thank you Jonathan and all at Olson and Baker.

        Fantastic customer service throughout the ordering process.

        Great products - really pleased with my order.

        So glad I came across Olson & Baker for my home accessories that I would not find elsewhere on the High Street.

        Very good service, great communication and arrived very promptly

        Thank you

        Fantastic service, Jonathan was extremely helpful through my purchase.

        Definitely recommend and would use again.

        Thanks! Angela

        Beautiful item arrived earlier than indicated.

        Customer service informed me of this & then followed up after delivery to make sure it arrived safely.

        Highly recommend!

        Olson + Bakers service and products have been outstanding. I can't recommend Jonathan at Olson + Baker enough.

        He is an absolute star and has gone out of his way to provide superb service.

        Great range of products.

        Purchased a beautiful rug from here and had a smooth overall buying experience.

        Beautiful and high quality furniture!

        Excellent delivery and customer services, even during difficult times like Covid 19.

        Really excellent customer service. Can not recommend this company highly enough - the products are high quality and their communication with the customer is first class. Jonathon always responded promptly to any queries and was very helpful.

        I would definitely buy from them again.
