Frequently Asked Questions

Our Furniture and Materials

Where are your products made?

All Acre Made products are crafted with care in our production facility in the rural community of Lakeside, Ontario. 

What materials are used to create your products?

As a proud Ontario Wood partner, Acre Made uses various types of sustainably-sourced Ontario wood species including oak, ambrosia maple, walnut and more. We also use locally-sourced steel. To learn more about our materials, read through our Design and Finishes Guide.

What measurement units are used on this website?

All measurements are in inches unless otherwise noted.

Do you provide assembly instructions? 

Yes! Our pieces are very simple to assemble. Our step by step instructions are minimal and should easily guide you through assembly. If you have any questions in regards to instructions, please contact us at help@shopacremade.com

We also offer a white glove delivery service within a 3 hour radius of our shop location. White glove delivery includes the transportation of furniture into your desired room and assembly service. 

Do you offer furniture refinishing?

We do not offer furniture refinishing. We are happy to build you a table from scratch! For more information, view our furniture collections here or check out our custom furniture guide.

How do you approach sustainability at Acre Made?

Sustainability is at the heart and soul of everything we do at Acre Made. From where we source our materials to how we manage our waste. We are continuously looking to improve our impact on the environment through our products and our property in general. 

We donate and are currently working on a tree planting exercise in SW Ontario. In terms of materials, our lumber is sourced from local suppliers that have strong forestry management practices. We recycle what we can and even our shop waste like offcuts and sawdust go towards heating the shop all winter. We hire locally and provide opportunities for co-op students and offer summer work placements.

What type of finish is on my Acre Made table?

We use a hard wearing matte lacquer finish (no shiny surfaces here!) on all of our items, sprayed in multiple thin coats to offer maximum protection using the latest equipment. We have changed finishes many times over our 10 years in business and this is the best combination of appearance and functionality that we’ve found. The 5 degree matte finish is hard wearing and not glossy. You can often still feel the wood grains through it, whilst being fully protected against spills etc. Please refer to our ‘Care and Maintenance’ guide  for more information on how to care for your solid wood piece from Acre Made.

Do I need to maintain the finish on my Acre Made table?

No heavy maintenance required here. Just a wipe with a damp cloth. A much watered down, natural multi surface cleaner also works well. This will keep your furniture looking great for years to come.

I spilled something on my table! Now what? 

Don’t panic! But wipe it up immediately. Although your table is completely sealed and resistant to spills, you should still use care just as you would with any other wood furniture.

Read our guide to caring for your Acre Made furniture for more information.

How many people does a table seat?

The standard is around 24” per person at a table, but there are some exceptions, for example when working with a smaller space or a banquette. 

Please refer to our guide on choosing a table size here!

Do you have a showroom?

We do not have a showroom, but you are welcome to make an appointment to view items we have in production at the time at our production facility in Lakeside, ON.
