This furniture is designed for indoor use.
Damage to furniture can come from temperature changes in relative humidity (RH)
in our homes. Humid air oxidizes metal which results in rusting, corrosion, tarnishing
and roughness. Wood absorbs water as relative humidity rises and falls, and in doing
so it swells and shrinks.
To protect against the humidity effect, the metal is powder coated. The powder coat
layer protects the metal from oxidizing, corrosion, tarnishing and scratching and
keeps it looking good for years to come. The wood is sealed and lacquered to
protect against humidity.
To help protect your furniture, follow these steps:
·
Use a humidifier, preferably one with an automatic control system that can
sense the humidity level and adjust itself accordingly
·
Dust with soft dry cloth
·
Wipe up spills promptly
·
Clean with a dry cloth
·
Do not use abrasive cleaners, chemical solvents, strong detergents, cleaners
with bleach, and furniture polish
·
Use soft felt base coasters, placemats to help prevent scratches
·
Keep furniture out of direct sunlight, which can cause cracking or roughness
on the protective layer
·
If it can be avoided, do not put furniture near heating vents
·
Keep the furniture 3 to 4 inches away from the wall, giving heat and air space to
circulate.
