We manufacture all of our woodwork out of 100% natural wood from renewable forests. To ensure that a minimum number of trees are killed in the manufacturing of our furniture, we attempt to eliminate unnecessary waste by using as much wood from each tree as possible. We do not endorse the environmentally unsound practice of cutting a large number of trees, selecting only a small percentage of the resource for use, and then disposing of the rest. As a result, differences in color, grain, appearance and texture are inherent in all natural woodwork, and should be expected. Variances in these qualities are not deemed manufacturing defects, and will not be accepted as valid reasons to return or exchange any LACAVA wood pieces. Wood samples provided by LACAVA are intended to represent the average appearance of each wood finish, and should not be viewed as exact representations of every individual piece of woodwork.
