While the new wave of Covid-19 pandemic hits the countries all over the world, the vast network of ports, container vessels and trucking companies that moves goods around the world is badly tangled, and the cost of shipping is skyrocketing. That's troubling news for every member of the global supply chain including but not limited to manufacturers, wholesaler, retailers and end consumers. More than 18 months into the pandemic, the disruption to global supply chain is getting worse, spurring shortages of consumer products and making it more expensive for companies to ship goods where they're needed. Most of our vendors adjusted their list prices at least once, some of them twice since the pandemic started in 2020. Some warehouses suffer badly from staff shortage, pandemic regulations and work overload which increases the order processing times at a level of "never seen before". It sounds almost ridiculous when you say 4 or more weeks is needed for an in stock item just to be picked from the warehouse after the order is placed but this is the "new reality" we are going through.

The latest obstacle is in China, where a terminal at the Ningbo-Zhoushan Port south of Shanghai has been shut since August 11 after a dock worker tested positive for Covid-19. Major international shipping lines, including Maersk, Hapag-Lloyd and CMA CGM have adjusted schedules to avoid the port and are warning customers of delays. The partial closure of the world's third busiest container port is disrupting other ports in China, stretching supply chains that were already suffering from recent problems at Yantian port, ongoing container shortages, coronavirus-related factory shutdowns in Vietnam and the lingering effects of the Suez Canal blockage in March.

Although the current situation looks grim, we are now working harder than ever to overcome the hardship and ease the pain. We offer no payment - no obligation PRE-ORDER option for all backordered items which has longer ETAs. All

Finally your new chair has arrived and it is looking great with a new leather look and smell. Genuine leather is an organic material so in time some level of cracks are inevitable. However you can minimize them and protect the paint with some quick and easy maintenance. Here we prepared a general guideline to keep your chair’s look new and fresh for years to come. It’s much easier to spend a little time protecting and conditioning your fine leather upholstery than spending the energy and money to repair it.

You want to clean your leather chair? Do not ever use detergents (like dishwasher detergent) or other household chemical cleaners. It will remove most stains for sure but it will also remove the oil which is necessary to keep the leather fibers flexible. Remember it’s not an alive skin so it cannot replace the oil by itself like our skins do. Chemical cleaners are also harmful for the paint and the color will eventually become dull if you continue using them. For regular cleaning, just use a dry cloth (barely damp one if necessary) or dust remover to remove the dust and other particles. You can also vacuum it with a brushed vacuum cleaner tip. Do not use hard plastic vacuum cleaner tips as they will scratch your leather and other metal parts.

You should also clean any spills including water spills immediately with a dry cloth or paper towel. Do not let anything dry by itself on the leather surface including water. Also never put wet clothes on your chair and let them dry on it. Leathers can absorb oils and other liquids fairly quickly which in some cases can cause some nasty stains or decolorization. Alcohol and products containing alcohol are also a big NO for cleaning. Alcohol is a strong chemical solvent and harmful for your leather’s oil and paint.

Last but not least, avoid placing your chair under the direct sunlight, or next to heaters or air conditioners. Sun and heaters will cause your leather to dry quickly which will eventually result

Furniture scratches happen and once they happen we all know there is no easy way to get rid of them. Well at least this was the simple truth we know until now, but thanks to walnut the truth is different.

Step 2: Rub with fingers

Rub the area with your fingers to warm the area.

Step 3: Let the oils soak in

Wait a few minutes to let the natural oil from the nut soak into the wood.

Step 4: Buff area

Buff the area with a soft cloth.
