FlatJack is a mashup honoring my father, Jack, who fostered my love of wood and craftsmanship; and Jeff Brown’s Flat Stanley childrens’ book series. After a bulletin board fell on him during the night, the now flat Stanley could go anywhere just like our new furniture designs.

Do you have sales or discount codes?

Our commitment is to give you the best quality at the lowest possible price, every day. We don’t believe in marking up our prices so we can promote fake sales throughout the year. Nor is it fair for one customer to pay the regular price while another happens to catch a 10 – 50% off sale. We guarantee our prices for the calendar year so there's no need to rush – or any reason to wait—to buy what you love. From time to time, discontinued items may be offered in limited quantities at clearance prices.

FlatJack furniture is constructed exclusively with natural hardwood. Each piece is unique which may include inconsistent graining, occasional knots or color variations. Dents, scratches and dings are a part of everyday life and shows your furniture is being used. As an added bonus, we have included a professional repair kit ($20 retail value) specifically matched to your stain to repair dents, scratches and dings. However, this normal wear and tear will eventually become part of the aging surface, making the piece unique to you and your family.
Below are some pro tips:
• Use a f****** coaster! Moisture and heat can damage any wood finish. Please protect your furniture by using coasters/trivets and always wipe up moisture and spills quickly.
• Avoid dragging or dropping sharp, rough or heavy objects across the surface.
• Humidity changes will cause wood to expand and contract. Maintain consistent humidity levels to minimize movement and prevent warping. The best environment is 40 – 45% relative humidity.
• Nail polish remover will cause severe damage to your finish.
• Candle wax can leave a stain.
• Sunlight can change the color of natural wood over time. Try to place your wood furniture out of direct sunlight. Occasionally rotate items on your wood furniture to make any color changes more uniform.
• A damp cloth is typically all you need to clean your furniture. If you want to use something more avoid products with silicone, wax solvents, abrasives or any cleaners with ammonia, alcohol or petroleum.
• For our Natural finish products, treat your furniture whenever it seems dry with Daddy Van’s all natural Furniture Polish. A complimentary can was included with your order. It is naturally non-toxic, chemical free and food safe. Use a soft cloth to rub a small amount onto the wood surface in a circular motion. Then buff to a deep glow with clean, dry cotton cloth.
