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.
