At Online8, we celebrate the history and soul of reclaimed materials. Our recycled timber products are crafted from timber salvaged from old houses, wooden boats, vintage doors, and historic building materials.
Because this furniture has lived a previous life, it carries a unique story. To ensure you are completely happy with your purchase, please read our disclaimer regarding the natural characteristics of recycled timber.
What to Expect
By choosing recycled timber, you are embracing a one-of-a-kind piece. The following features are natural characteristics of the wood and are not considered faults:
-
Authentic Imperfections: You may find natural cracks, splits, or gouges. To ensure stability and aesthetic flow, these areas are often filled with timber inserts, wood glue, or a putty-and-sawdust mixture that blends into the design.
-
Surface Texture: The surface of each item may not be perfectly smooth. Subtle unevenness is common and adds to the rustic feel of the furniture.
-
Historical Markings: You may see evidence of the timber's past, including old paint marks, or visible hardware like bolts, nails, and screws. In many cases, where hardware has been removed, the original markings remain visible.
- Color Variations: No two pieces are identical. Color tones vary significantly from one item to the next based on the age and source of the wood. We cannot fulfill requests for specific color tones or finishes.
- Handmade Variations: Due to the artisanal nature of these products, items may vary slightly in size and shape.
Our Recommendation
The beauty of recycled furniture lies in its individual charm and "perfectly imperfect" nature. It is designed for those who appreciate a weathered, soulful aesthetic rather than a uniform, factory-line finish.
Important: If you are looking for a perfectly smooth, uniform, or blemish-free finish, we kindly suggest avoiding our recycled timber range, as these natural characteristics are an inherent part of the product.
