Solid Wood White Ceruse Restaurant Table Top on Walnut Oak

Wood Table Top Disclaimer

Solid wood table tops are crafted from natural materials, which means they can be affected by environmental conditions. Here’s what you need to know to maintain their beauty and durability.

Natural Characteristics of Wood

• Shrinkage, Warping, and Cracks: Wood naturally expands and contracts with changes in temperature and humidity. Minor seasonal cracks or gaps may occur, but these are non-structural and do not affect the table's durability.
• Warranty Note: Since these occurrences are due to the natural properties of wood, they are not considered manufacturing defects and are not covered under warranty.


Recommended Room Conditions

To help preserve the quality of your wood table top:

• Temperature: Maintain room temperature between 68–72°F (20–22°C).
• Humidity: Keep relative humidity between 40–45% with proper air circulation.
• Gradual Adjustments: Avoid sudden changes in temperature or humidity, both in use and during storage. If storing, use a climate-controlled facility to prevent damage.

Care & Placement Tips

Placement Guidelines

• Avoid Direct Heat and Sunlight: Keep tables away from radiators, heating vents, space heaters, ovens, wood-burning stoves, and bright, direct sunlight.
• Be Mindful of Placement: Excessive heat, cold, dryness, or humidity can cause wood to crack or split.

Everyday Care Tips

• No Vinyl or Glass Covers: These can trap moisture and cause warping.
• Protect from Heat: Use trivets for hot plates to prevent heat stains or cracks.
• Clean Responsibly: Wipe spills immediately. Avoid cleaners with alcohol, silicone, or ammonia.
• Maintenance: With proper care, wood tables can last for years. You can extend their life through occasional sanding and re-staining as needed.
