FURNITURE CARE INSTRUCTIONS
ROOM CLIMATE CONTROL:
• Wood, when first cut contains more than 50 percent water. When it is prepared
for furniture construction it is placed in a Kiln and the moisture content is
brought down to 8 to 10 percent. Wood is porous and responds to its
environment. If the room has high humidity it will absorb it and expand and if the
humidity is low it will lose moisture and shrink.
• It is important that the humidity levels in the room be controlled from extremes
of too much humidity or too little. Furniture should not be placed close to the
air-conditioning outlets, fire places, radiators, space heaters, humidifiers or
dehumidifiers. Exposure to extreme variations of temperature and humidity can
damage any fine wood product.
THE IDEAL ENVIRONMENT FOR FINE FURNITURE:
• Fine wood furniture will have fewer problems when its environment is controlled
at a temperature between 65 and 75 degrees and a relative humidity between
35 and 40 percent. Wood placed in an environment outside of those limits can
and will shrink or expand and may develop some small cracks which are not
material or structural defects.
AVOID DIRECT SUNLIGHT:
• Keep the furniture out of direct sunlight. Ultraviolet rays will fade colors and in
some cases darken them. It can also cause crazing or hair line cracks in the
finish. White finishes will yellow naturally over time and exposure to direct
sunlight will hasten this natural process along with some woods darkening
naturally over time; this is not considered to be a quality defect.
PROPER STORAGE:
• If you need to put your furniture in storage for any period of time do not store
them in a damp basement or hot dry attic. Allow air movement around the
furniture and do not stack anything on it.
