Nine things to note when maintaining solid wood office furniture

1. There are two types of solid wood office furniture. Traditional solid wood office furniture generally has no paint layer on the surface, but is only waxed. Newly produced solid wood office furniture now has lacquer or varnish on the surface for protection. The maintenance methods of solid wood office furniture with different treatments are different.

2. Solid wood contains water. When the air humidity is too low, solid wood office furniture will shrink, and when it is too high, it will expand. Generally, solid wood office furniture has a shrinkage layer when it is produced, but you should be careful when using it. Do not place it in places that are too humid or too dry, such as near high temperature and high heat such as stoves and heaters, or in places that are too humid, such as basements, to avoid mold and cracking.

3. Do not place hot water cups directly on the surface of office furniture, as this will leave marks that are difficult to remove. Colored liquids such as ink should be avoided from spilling on the table.

4. When transporting or moving solid wood office furniture, handle it with care and avoid pulling or tugging to avoid damaging the mortise and tenon joints. Office desks and chairs should not be lifted from the top, as they can easily fall off. Lift them from the sides and chairs. It's best to remove the doors from filing cabinets before lifting to reduce weight and prevent them from moving. If moving particularly heavy furniture, use a soft rope to loop under the chassis to lift and move.

5. Avoid placing heavy objects on the surface of solid wood office furniture for a long time, especially fish tanks, as this will cause the solid wood office furniture to deform. It is not advisable to place non-breathable materials such as plastic sheets on the office desk.

6. If the floor in the room is uneven, it will cause the office furniture to deform over time. The way to avoid this is to use small pieces of wood to level it.

7. Never use a wet or rough rag to wipe solid wood office furniture. Use a clean, soft cotton cloth, add a little furniture wax or walnut oil after a period of time, and gently wipe back and forth along the wood grain.

8. The surface of solid wood office furniture should be avoided from friction with hard objects to avoid damaging the paint and wood surface texture. Be especially careful when placing decorative items such as porcelain and copper, and it is best to place a soft cloth under it.

9. Avoid placing office furniture in front of large south-facing glass windows. Long-term direct sunlight will make the office furniture too dry and fade.
