Moisture and heat can damage any wood finish.
Always wipe up moisture promptly and dry with a soft cloth.
Use Coasters or Trivets when placing items such as cups on surface.
Avoid dragging sharp or rough objects across the surface of your wood furniture.
Dust with a soft, dry untreated cloth.
Maintain consistent humidity levels to minimize seasonal expansion and contraction of wood and prevent warping.
Over time, air and sunlight will change the color of natural wood.
Occasionally rotate the items placed on your wood furniture to allow a more uniform color to develop.
