Limitations
- For interior applications only
- Birch Elite Lacquered is supplied with a factory-applied clear lacquer finish suitable for desk, joinery, and furniture applications. As with all lacquered surfaces, the finish is not scratch-proof. Normal use over time — including movement of items or contact with embedded grit — may result in visible surface marking. This is considered normal wear and does not indicate a manufacturing or finishing defect.
