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.
