Note that the lacquer used on most of our furniture is not heavy, allowing the natural grain of the wood to show through. This can make it liable to scratching if good care is not taken. We therefore recommend that you do not place items such as lamps and ornaments directly onto the surface of the furniture unless they have a soft, padded base. Instead, use soft mats or fabrics on top of the furniture to protect the surface from scratching.
