What you should know about Bermex solid wood furniture All Bermex furniture is made of solid birch from North America. Only the best pieces of this wood known for its exquisite beauty are used. Experience the unparalleled uniqueness of solid birch. Each piece of wood used to create your furniture has its own distinct look and personality, with its own variations in grain and color, so it can never be duplicated because every tree is unique. Advantages: Coming from North America, it is perfectly adapted to our climate Kiln-dried to 7% humidity to help prevent from any future warping Can be repaired and restored to its original beauty, compared to veneer Maintenance: As with any wood surface, it is important not to leave any liquid nor hot or cold items on the furniture. If the wood absorbs liquid, it may crack or even warp. Also, solid wood is an element of nature; please never use any chemical products for maintenance. Just dust your furniture with a clean, slightly damp cloth, then dry it at once with a soft, dry cloth. 3
