Each piece of furniture responds differently to changes
in temperature and humidity in your home. Expansion at the joints and seams will
return to its original shape and size as seasons change. Protective coverings
such as felt backed place mats and table pads will help protect the finish on
your furniture. This is especially important for wood furniture that is used
in kitchen areas. Because each piece of wood is unique, you can expect variations
in grain appearance and stain coloration. Random distressing is applied by hand
and adds a distinctive heirloom appearance to the finish of some pieces. Ask
your dealer if your furniture has this feature. Many wood pieces include levelers
and door hinges that must be periodically adjusted to ensure smooth operation
of doors and drawers. TV and other electronic equipment should be measured to
ensure proper fit.
Treat drawer glides with petroleum jelly or candle wax for
smooth operation.
Table leaves should always be stored flat. *Opening & closing
of dining tables requires two people, when inserting or removing table leaves.
*This
will avoid damaging.
Keep furniture out of sunlight to avoid sun damage and
bleaching.
Keep furniture away from heating/air conditioning sources as they affect the
moisture content of the wood.
Do not set synthetics or rubber products on the
wood finish as the chemicals may damage the finish.
Do not leave newspapers
and magazines on wood because the inks can bleed onto the finish and into the
wood.
Periodically adjust levelers and door hinges to ensure smooth operation of
doors and drawers. |
