Materials & Natural Variation

Kafka uses the following materials:

• Walnut/Maple
• PC
• Brass

Natural variances and changes in these materials are to be expected.

‎

Below are specific notes for some of the materials used in the Kafka:

Wood Components

• Wood is a natural material and will vary in:
  Grain pattern
  Colour
  Texture
  
• Small knots, mineral streaks, or natural figuring may be present.
• Minor changes due to temperature and humidity are normal.
• Any variations that do not affect the assembly will not be considered as defects.

‎

PC Components

• PC materials may show faint surface marks.
• These marks are normal and not considered scratches.
• PC material may yellow over time due to environmental exposure.

‎

Brass Components

• Brass may naturally oxidise over time.
• Protective coatings are applied, but light oxidation may still occur during transport or use.
• Light oxidation is considered normal and not a quality defect.

QC Standards:

Kafka units are inspected according to defined QC standards before shipment.

• QC applies to external, visible surfaces and functional components.
• Internal surfaces or areas not visible during normal use are not considered for cosmetic QC.
• Minor cosmetic imperfections that do not affect function or durability are acceptable.

A unit is considered defective only if:

• There is a functional failure, or
• There is visible damage beyond acceptable tolerances (1x1mm) that affects normal use.
