Handling: |
|
| |
|
|
|
• |
Never drag your furniture to move it; this places stress
on the legs. Always lift your furniture, grasping the sturdiest
part. |
|
• |
Always use coasters to protect the surface from heat and water
or alcohol spills. |
|
• |
Do not place heavy items on your furniture that may leave marks or scratches on the surface. |
|
• |
Avoid placing your furniture in areas with extreme temperature
changes. Rapid temperature changes can cause warping in the
wood. |
|
• |
Do not place your furniture in direct sunlight, this can cause
the wood to warp or shrink as well as create color changes in
the wood. |
|
• |
Do not place your furniture near a fireplace or other heat
source. |
|
• |
The ideal temperature for your furniture is between 60-80
degrees Fahrenheit. |

|
|
|
With all this said, the most important thing is that you treat
your treasures with respect. They will bring you many years of
enjoyment. |
