Care and Maintenance
From time to time please ensure there are no loose nuts on the product.
Use a soft, clean cloth that will not scratch the surface when dusting.
Use of furniture polish is not necessary. Should you choose to use polish, test first in an
inconspicuous area.
Using solvents of any kind on your furniture may damage your furniture’s finish.
Never use water to clean your furniture as it may cause damage to the finish.
Always use coasters under beverage glasses and flowerpots.
Liquid spills should be removed immediately. Using a soft clean cloth, blot the spill gently. Avoid
rubbing.
Always use protective pads under hot dishes and plates. Heat can cause chemical changes that may
create spotting within the furniture finish.

Further advice about wood furniture care
It is best to keep your furniture in a climate-controlled environment. Extreme temperature and
humidity changes can cause fading, warping, shrinking and splitting of wood. It is advised to keep
furniture away from direct sunlight as sun may damage the finish.
Proper care and cleaning at home will extend the life of your purchase. Following these important and
helpful tips will enhance your furniture as it ages.
A touch-up pen has been provided to repair any small nicks or scratches that may occur during
assembly or shipping.
