[About the Material]

• Walnut: Deep brown with a calm, quietly elegant feel.
• Maple: Pale and clean-looking, with a soft and gentle appearance.
• Cherry: Warm reddish tones that deepen with time and use.

[About the Finish]

• Instead of a chemical coating such as urethane, this piece is finished only with natural plant-based oil so the texture and character of the wood can be appreciated more directly.
• It is also gentle enough for everyday use, including in homes with young children. 
• With use, the wood will gradually develop a deeper tone over time, which is part of its natural charm.

[Please Note]

• Handmade Item: Slight differences in grain, tone, and surface texture are part of the natural character of the wood.
• Material Character: Because natural wood is used, each piece will vary slightly in color and grain.
• Selection: Individual grain pattern and tone cannot be selected in advance.
• Color Variation: Actual color may appear slightly different depending on screen settings.

[Care Guide]

• Wash gently with mild detergent using a soft sponge.
• Wipe dry promptly after washing and let air dry completely.
• Avoid prolonged soaking, boiling sterilization, dishwashers, dryers, microwaves, and ovens.
• Keep away from direct sunlight and excessive heat.
• If the surface begins to feel rough or develops small chips or scratches, gently smooth the area with fine sandpaper and wipe with a small amount of olive oil.
• Periodic oil care can help maintain the surface over time.
