FAQ's About Our Wood Sculptures
Q. The description says that no two sculptures are alike? Does that mean I may receive a different sculpture than what’s pictured?
A. Maybe. Though every effort is made to keep the images of the wooden sculptures on UpsideLiving.com updated, there may be times when a sculpture shown has actually already been sold. Inventory changes quickly and though we do attempt to keep images up-to-date with what’s available in our current inventory, doing so is not always possible. Though the sculpture you receive may not be identical to that pictured, it will be similar with only the slightest of variations.
Q. From what type of wood are your wooden sculptures carved?
A. All of our wooden sculptures are carved from Tropical Oak wood, which is very similar to Teak wood.
Q. Must the sculptures be kept indoors?
A. No. Our wooden sculptures come from nature and thus, can exist in natural, outdoorsy settings. However, to preserve the hue and grandeur of the sculptures, we do recommend that they be treated with a wood sealer as direct sunlight or repeated exposure to the elements will wear on the sculpture.
Q. What’s the best way to keep my sculpture in optimal condition?
A. Bi-weekly dusting and an annual polishing with Teak oil will keep your wooden sculpture in show condition. Note: If you plan to display the sculpture outdoors, be sure to treat it with a wood sealer to protect it from sun and weather wear. Then continue with maintenance as described above.
Q. Is there any assembly required?
A. No. Each statue is carved from a single block of Tropical Oak. When your sculpture arrives, simply unwrap it and put it on display!
Q. How long will it take to receive my wooden sculpture?
A. Each statue is imported directly from Indonesia to your home or business using specialized freight carriers. Therefore, the customary delivery time is within 10 business days. However, in some cases, delivery can be expedited.
