Order status

How can I track the status of my order?
Since we do not have all the necessary information to access your order, only your retailer can provide you with an answer. If, however, your retailer is unable to provide the information, they can contact our service team.
Can I modify my current order?
For any questions on modifying an order, please contact your retailer. However, it is important to note that since each piece of furniture is custom-made, there is a chance that no changes can be made depending on the status of your order.

Service

If I purchased a Canadel piece of furniture in the past, can I buy a new piece that will match?
It is possible to purchase a product that will complement your current furniture. However, please note that since exposure to light affects the color of wood furniture, the color of a new product may differ slightly from an old one, even if the chosen color is the same. The same is true for fabrics.
Can I purchase paint or fabric?
It is possible to purchase our current stains and fabrics from your Canadel authorized retailers.
Can I purchase replacement parts?

It is possible to purchase certain replacement parts. To do so, please contact your Canadel authorized dealer.

Can I purchase an additional or replacement leaf?

Since wood is a living material that changes over time, we do not recommend adding or replacing a leaf. Exposure to light may also have changed the color of your table, which will no longer match the color of a new leaf. The same is true for the space allotted to the leaf, because wood contracts and expands with changes in temperature and humidity. For these reasons, a new leaf added to a table that was made several months ago might not fit. Also, if your extension mechanism was built to support a single leaf, the weight of a second one could damage it.

For any additional information, please contact the retailer where you purchased your table. Only they can make the decision to place the order. This decision is entirely at their discretion as we give no warranty on extensions for the above-mentioned reasons.

Can I purchase Teflon® or felt glides?

Similar glides can be purchased at local hardware stores or on websites like Amazon.

Can I make repairs to my furniture after the warranty period?

To perform repairs on one of our products when the manufacturer’s warranty period has expired, please contact your retailer. They can provide you with references from professionals in your area.

My store is closed, and I have a problem with my furniture, whom can I contact?

If your furniture is still under warranty, please contact us at information@canadel.ca. However, if the warranty has expired, we recommend that you contact a woodworker in your area.

How to adjust the levelers?

If your furniture has levelers, they can be adjusted by screwing or unscrewing them. For more information, please refer to this document: FOP1INZBUF-04-P02.pdf (canadel.com)

How to adjust the height of drawers?

It is possible to adjust the height of your drawers to level them. First, make sure that your furniture is level. If this is the case, you can then locate a small wheel on the sides or under your drawers. This will allow you to adjust the height. For more information, please refer to this document: FOP1INZBUF-12-P03.pdf (canadel.com)

Can I put a protective glass on my table?

We do not recommend the use of a protective glass due to their additional weight, which can impact proper functioning of your table.

Care and Maintenance

How can I properly maintain and clean my wood furniture?

We recommend cleaning your furniture with a soft damp cloth and a mild soap, such as dish soap diluted in water. After cleaning, dry immediately.

  • Solid wood is very sensitive to changes in temperature and humidity since it is a living material. To protect your furniture, keep the humidity constant, ideally between 30% and 50%. If this condition is not met, the furniture may crack or warp, and the finishing products may be affected.
  • Store table leaves as close as possible to the table itself so that they are kept at the same humidity level. It is preferable to store dining room table leaves in an upstairs closet than in a damp basement.
  • Avoid placing furniture directly in front of radiators, heating vents or wood-burning stoves.
  • Do not use polish, wax, abrasives or products with alcohol or ammonia which could damage the finish of your furniture.
  • Never place anything hot directly on your table, as this will produce heat marks. We suggest protecting your table with a tablecloth or placemats when in use, to help prevent scratches.
  • Never leave liquid directly on the wood, as this could damage your furniture – the wood could crack and warp.
  • To protect your furniture finish, avoid daily exposure to direct sunlight.
How can I clean my glass tabletop?

We recommend cleaning your glass tabletop with a cleaner designed for glass, such as Windex®, Bon Ami®, etc.

How can I access the cleaning recommendations for the fabric on my chairs and stools?
To learn more about the care of your fabric, please look under your product. You should find a label with recommendations specific to your fabric. However, if there is no label under your furniture, please check if the fabric code is indicated on your invoice or contact your retailer, they will be able to provide it to you. You can also refer to the picture below to find recommendations specific to your fabric.

If your furniture is over 8 years old, please contact us at information@canadel.ca
