Mango Wood Furniture: What It Is and How to Care for It

Many of our handcrafted furniture pieces are made from solid mango wood. If you are new to it, here is what to know.

What is mango wood?

Mango wood comes from mango trees, which are grown for their fruit. When the trees stop producing fruit after many years, they are harvested and replanted, and the timber is used to make furniture. Because the wood comes from orchards rather than old forests, mango wood is considered a sustainable choice.

Why people love it

• Strong and durable: Mango is a hardwood with a dense grain, well suited to tables, cabinets, beds and dressers.
• Unique grain: The grain ranges from golden to darker streaks, so every piece looks a little different. Variations in color and pattern are part of its natural character, not flaws.
• Takes finishes well: Mango wood can be finished in light natural tones, warm honey shades or darker stains.

Everyday care

• Dust regularly with a soft, dry cloth.
• Wipe spills right away with a slightly damp cloth, then dry the surface.
• Use coasters, placemats and trivets to protect against heat and moisture rings.
• Avoid harsh chemical cleaners and silicone sprays.

Protect it from the environment

• Keep furniture out of strong, direct sunlight to prevent fading.
• Keep it away from radiators, heaters and air vents. Natural wood can expand and contract with changes in temperature and humidity.
• Maintain moderate humidity in your home where possible.

Occasional refresh

Every few months, a good-quality furniture wax or wood conditioner suited to your piece's finish helps keep the wood nourished. Test any product on a hidden area first.
