Colby Leg Table

CARE OF SOLID WOOD TABLES

• Place your table away from radiators, fireplaces, and heating ducts.
• Position table out of direct sunlight or adjust blinds to avoid hour after hour of direct sunlight.
• Control humidity to 40%–45%. In winter use a humidifier, in summer use a dehumidifier or air conditioner.
• Use coasters with non-scratching bottoms. Use padding under all sharp, hot, or cold objects.
• Store table leaves in close proximity to table or in the same humidity, avoid storing leaves in damp basements where the leaves may swell.
• Avoid using nail polish remover, alcohol, and other solvents near or on table.
• Dust carefully with a soft cloth, following the grain pattern of the wood. Use an old T-shirt, baby diaper or cheesecloth that has been laundered to remove the sizing.
• Do not leave leaf extensions in table for extended periods of times as leg tables are only designed to support the extra weight for short periods of time. 

ROUTINE CLEANING AND CARE

• Dust often to remove everyday abrasive particles from wood surfaces.
• Consider cleaning with a mild non-alkaline soap and water. Use the suds in a damp sponge or cloth, but be sure to pre-test the solution on an out-of-sight section to make sure it doesn’t damage the finish. Dry immediately with a soft cloth and buff lightly, following the grain.
• Don't wax or use any polish that contains any silicones! Catalyzed heat and moisture resistant finishes don’t need additional polish, but if you want to use a polish we recommend Parker & Bailey's Furniture Cleaner.
