OIL-BASED PAINTED WOOD CARE GUIDE
PLEASE READ THIS INFORMATION CAREFULLY - IT WILL HELP YOU TO MAINTAIN YOUR FURNITURE
This furniture has been made from seasoned wood and has already been factory primed and finished
with an oil-based paint. With proper maintenance, it will give you years of enjoyable service. Wood
is a natural material and its appearance will change when exposed to the elements; surface splits and
checking may appear, particularly on the end grain and to a lesser extent on the surface within a few
weeks if left exposed to the elements. The furniture is designed with this in mind to remain strong and
durable. If left exposed to the weather, your furniture will fade in color. The exact color will depend on
the environment; for example, less fading will occur if the furniture is placed in a shady location under
a tree. To help preserve the color, cover the furniture with a garden furniture cover when not in use.
Wood expands and contracts with changes in relative humidity. To prevent over drying and excessive
cracking, do not store in a heated place.
