Finish Color Matching
Different wood species offer unique texture and grain. Minor variations in
finish color and density or shade may occur due to natural characteristics of
wood.
Proper Care of Wood Surfaces
With proper care of the wood surfaces and finishes, your office furniture will
provide elegance and convenience for years. Please reference these easy-to-
follow guidelines whenever you have a question.
x Clean all surfaces frequently with a soft cloth dampened with warm water,
moving the cloth with the grain. (Do not use furniture polish or any oil
base products.)
x Immediately remove any liquids that come in contact with wood surfaces
with a blotting action.
x Lift objects to move them, never pull them across the finished surface.
x Avoid exposure of furniture to extremes of heat and cold, or to wide
humidity variances.
x For an additional safeguard, use a protective desk pad. This single item
could ensure a lasting finish by protecting your furniture from possible
damage caused by pens and sharp objects.
x Do not leave plastic, vinyl or rubber items on finished wood surfaces.
Sustained contact may cause deterioration of the finish due to possible
chemical reaction between the plastic, vinyl or rubber and the catalyzed
lacquer finish. Telephones are a common example of office equipment that
may have rubberized pads. It is recommended that felt be placed under
these items to protect the wood surfaces.
x If using a protective glass top, place spacer pads under the glass top to allow
the wood to breathe.
x Avoid exposure of furniture to strong sunlight. The wood underneath the
finish may change color from prolonged exposure to sunlight.
x Avoid exposure of furniture to harsh solvents (nail polish remover, acetates,
etc.), as it will cause finish deterioration.
