Your furniture has arrived—now what?

Initial setup matters
Place your piece in a stable environment, away from direct sunlight, heat sources, and excess moisture.

Daily care

• Dust regularly with a soft cloth

• Clean spills promptly

• Avoid harsh chemicals

Seasonal considerations
Wood responds to humidity changes. Maintaining a consistent indoor environment helps preserve its integrity.

Long-term maintenance
Occasional conditioning or refinishing can extend the life and beauty of your furniture.

With proper care, your furniture won’t just last—it will continue to look better over time.

Wood changes dramatically depending on lighting — here’s what to expect.

Natural Light

Brings out warmth, variation, and grain detail.
But long-term direct sun can darken or lighten wood unevenly.

Warm/Soft Lighting

Enhances cozy tones and makes grain look richer.

Cool/White Lighting

Makes wood look more modern and minimal.

Accent Lighting

Spotlights details like figure, knots, or live edges.

Lighting doesn’t just brighten a room — it transforms how your furniture looks and feels.
