All metal used for legs and supports is cold-rolled steel finished with a baked-on epoxy-coated finish in the colors indicated above. Cold-rolled steel is an imperfect material which exhibits natural pits and changes in density. This is an extruded product, not a cast element. The innate properties of the cold-rolled steel are not defects, simply natural characteristics.

Both solid hardwoods and veneers are used in the construction of all our handcrafted furniture. Solid woods are used in framing to ensure sturdy construction and durability and veneers enable us to provide for a more uniform and continuous matching of wood grains and colorations.

All selections of veneers and metal finishes should be carefully made due to the fact that all veneers and finishes are specifically selected by Antoine Proulx for each piece of furniture. Because no two trees are alike, veneers used to process orders may differ from sample veneers and floor samples. Also, keep in mind that most woods darken naturally with age. Therefore, new products can be significantly lighter than older floor samples or veneer samples. Accordingly, Antoine Proulx does not guarantee an exact match to samples, nor can we control the size, location, or coloration of veneer markings.
