Understanding the Risks of Solid Wood Desktops
Solid wood desktops are highly sought after for their natural beauty, durability, and unique character. However, as with any natural material, solid wood comes with its own set of considerations. Here are some key points to help you understand and mitigate the risks associated with solid wood desktops, ensuring you make an informed decision when choosing a Beflo desk.
Cracking and Splitting
Solid wood is a living material that reacts to changes in temperature and humidity. Over time, this can cause the wood to crack or split. Beflo desks are crafted from carefully selected wood with a lower moisture content and treated to withstand typical indoor environments, reducing the likelihood of these issues. However, maintaining a stable indoor environment with consistent humidity can further minimize this risk.
Warping and Bowing
Warping or bowing occurs when wood is exposed to uneven moisture levels, causing one side to expand more than the other. Beflo desks are designed with high-quality construction techniques that help prevent warping. Our desks are sealed with protective finishes that shield the wood from moisture, ensuring long-term stability and a smooth, flat surface.
Surface Damage
While solid wood is durable, it can still be susceptible to scratches, dents, and stains. The natural patina that develops over time adds to the character of the wood, but to keep your desk looking pristine, we recommend using coasters and mats. Beflo desks come with a high-quality finish that offers a degree of resistance to everyday wear and tear, making maintenance easy and straightforward. Ideally using water to clean and avoiding detergents.
Tips for your Tenon
The Tenon desktop is designed to rest securely on the frame—no screws are necessary.
This design choice allows the natural movement of solid wood, helping to reduce internal stress and the risk of cracks over time.
For best results, we suggest placing the desktop directly onto the frame without fastening it.
Allowing the wood to expand and contract freely enhances its long-term durability and maintains the clean, minimal look of your setup.
Note: While fastening is possible, doing so may increase tension within the wood, especially in environments with humidity changes.
