Additional Policies and FAQs
Real Wood Disclaimer
We build all of our products from real, solid wood. Real wood responds at different times of the year depending on the moisture content in the air. Wood responds to the changes in the air's moisture level by expanding and contracting. We do everything we can to minimize the effects- from the way we build our tables to having an on site kiln to dry the wood to an acceptable moisture level- but it will adjust to the moisture levels in your home. A dry home may cause the wood to move or crack more than a home with the right humidity level. A damper home may cause the wood to swell and warp. Care must be taken to maintain controlled humidity levels. We do our best to reduce wood movement but we have no control over the environment of your home. This is not considered defective workmanship. Although we do stand behind our products, we are not responsible for these types of conditions as we have no control of the environment in your home.
Tips
Keep furniture away from direct sources of heating and cooling. Avoid storing furniture in an attic or basement type environment. Your indoor humidity should be controlled in the range of 35-45% relative humidity (can be measured with a hygrometer) and temperature between 60-80 degrees F. Exceeding these levels will cause your solid wood furniture to expand and contract leading to cracking and surface checking. When the weather outside is cold the humidity levels drop, plus most types of heating systems will lower levels as well, especially wood fired heat. A humidifier in the winter months can help control your humidity.
