Your quick reference guide to materials and finishes
| Multimedia wardrobes | They are great for kids’ rooms and feature two separate sections – one for clothes, and one with space for a TV or stereo. |
| Modular furniture | Lets you create your own unique look by mixing and matching different coordinating pieces. |
| Solid wood | It has a natural appearance. With knots, grains and slight variations in colour, no two pieces will look exactly the same – so you’ll get something really unique. |
| Real wood finish | This means the furniture has been finished with thin layers of real wood. It’ll still look like solid wood, but it’ll be lighter in weight and less expensive to buy. |
| Wood effect finish | That means the furniture has the look and feel of real wood, but with a more consistent colour and appearance, making it easier for you to create a totally coordinated look. |
| Metal and glass | This makes it easy for you to create a contemporary feel that’s also durable and easy to maintain. Choose frosted or clear glass to create a great sense of space and light. And rest assured that the tempered glass in our glass and mirrors meets British Safety Standards BS6202 regulations. |
| Ready assembled | Some of our furniture is already assembled and just requires you to fix pre-build sections together and to fit handles. |
| Self-assembly | These items come flat packed for you to assemble at home. For some items, more than one person will be needed for assembly. |
