Care and maintenance
•
A multi-step finish is applied to all our furniture, but all wood comes from
nature. Because of this, there will be natural variations in surface texture
and grain like knots, mineral streaks and sap runs that may affect the finish.
These differences in character are not defects, but distinctions that make
each piece of furniture unique.
•
Our furniture is built to last. Following these steps for basic care should
protect your investment for years to come.
•
Dust frequently with a clean damp lint-free cloth. This will help remove
abrasive build up which can damage a finish over time.
•
Do not place hot objects on any furniture surface. Always use a hot plate or
placemat. Laminate and lacquer finishes on table tops provide added
scratch and heat resistance to our furniture, but they can still be damaged
without proper care.
•
Avoid exposing your furniture to strong sunlight, heat outlet, open windows
or dampness. Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight
can fade the finish of your furniture, while extreme temperature and
humidity changes can cause cracking or splitting.
•
Do not expose your furniture to any liquids. Never allow water to sit on your
furniture. Alcohol, nail polish and perfume are also dangerous as they will
dissolve the lacquer finish on contact and may require professional repairs.
•
Do not allow plastic to come in direct contact with your furniture. Chemicals
in the plastic of placemats etc may soften and mark
the finish if left in contact with the furniture for a period of time.
