Common questions
What does Joint and Grain care about?
How a piece of furniture is made rather than how it is styled, which is why Construction sits next to Pieces. Buying covers the market, Brands & makers covers who is producing what in Europe, and Care & repair covers keeping a piece alive.
Do you review furniture?
No. The site summarises what named publications, makers and standards bodies have published, and it does not test, score or recommend pieces. A verdict in an article belongs to the source credited for it.
Is there anything to buy here?
No. There are no shops, no affiliate links and no sponsored placements, and the site is independent of every maker and retailer it covers.
Where do the repair and construction details come from?
From named trade publications, makers and craft bodies, summarised with a credit and a link to the original. A technique described here is described as that source described it, not as instructions tested by us.
Why is no author named?
Nobody by name. They are written with automated assistance from the source material, with the source publication credited in place of an author, as Sources and methods sets out.
Can I follow new pieces?
Yes, through the RSS feed at /feed.xml. Any reader will take it, and there is no newsletter or account.
