Our Cosmetic Standards
Planeta Woodworking Cosmetic Standard
At Planeta Woodworking, we pride ourselves on delivering high-quality, handcrafted furniture that showcases the natural beauty and character of wood. Our Cosmetic Standard ensures that each piece meets our rigorous criteria for aesthetics and craftsmanship.
Natural Variations in Wood
- Color and Grain: Each piece of wood is unique, with its own grain pattern and color variations. These natural differences are celebrated as part of the beauty of custom woodworking.
- Knots and Markings: Small knots, mineral streaks, and other natural markings are inherent to wood and are not considered defects. They add to the distinct character of each piece.
Handcrafted Details
- Distressing: Our distressing techniques are done by hand, ensuring no two pieces look exactly alike. This process includes unique marks and wear patterns that enhance the rustic charm of the furniture. The level of distressing will vary and may not exactly match sample images.
- Stain Application: Stain is applied by hand, and variations in how wood absorbs stain are normal. While we strive for consistency, each piece will have slight differences in shade and tone.
Construction and Finish
- Joints and Seams: Our joinery methods ensure strong and durable construction. Slight variations in seams and joints are part of the handmade process.
- Lacquer Finish: We use a high-quality satin lacquer finish to protect and enhance the wood. This finish provides durability while showcasing the wood's natural beauty. Minor differences in sheen are normal.
Quality Assurance
- Inspection: Each piece undergoes a thorough inspection before it leaves our workshop. We check for structural integrity, smooth finishes, and overall aesthetic appeal.
- Customer Approval: If you have specific requests or customizations, please ensure they are documented in your order notes. Clear communication helps us meet your expectations.
Limitations and Exclusions
- Environmental Impact: Wood is a natural material that can react to changes in humidity and temperature. While we take measures to minimize these effects, some movement or warping may occur over time.
- Customer Responsibility: Proper care and maintenance are essential to preserving the beauty and longevity of your furniture. Please follow our care instructions to keep your piece looking its best.
By choosing Planeta Woodworking, you are investing in unique, handcrafted furniture that combines artistry with quality. We are committed to ensuring your satisfaction with every piece we create.
