Pine woods exchange moisture with the air adjust-
ing to major changes in room temperature and
humidity. Therefore, it is best to place your furniture
away from heating or air-conditioning vents.
Sunlight is not friendly to solid wood furniture and
prolonged direct exposure to harsh sunlight can
discolor the finish. Be careful not to place your furni-
ture in direct sunlight for extended periods of time. As
with all your fine furniture, blot up spills immediately.
