Your quick reference guide to materials and finishes
| 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 and feel like solid wood, but it’ll be lighter in weight and less expensive to buy. |
| Wood effect finish | This furniture has the look of real wood, but with a more consistent colour and appearance, making it easier for you to create a totally co-ordinated 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. Rest assured that the tempered glass in our glass and mirrors meets British Safety Standards BS6202 regulations. |
| Semi-aniline leather | It is soft, natural-looking leather. It has subtle variations in shade, giving your furniture added depth and character. |
| Leather effect | That means your furniture is finished with a man-made material that gives a leather look and feel at a great value price. |
| PC trolleys | These are compact computer workstations that often have castors. A flexible solution that helps you make the most of your space. |
| Laptop solutions | They are small, portable tables ideal for working from sofas or armchairs. |
| Gas-lift chairs | These allow you to easily adjust the height of your seat, with a handy lever to ensure you have the right posture at your screen. |
| Lumbar support | This means you can be sure your chair will support your lower back correctly. |
| Ergonomic | Refers to chairs that have been specifically engineered to fit the shape of your body, ensuring you’re comfortable however much you use them. |
| 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. |
