FURNITURE
PRINCIPALS
Furniture will be constructed within 1/8''+/- accuracy for furniture piece overall size. All furniture is constructed with consideration to the natural movement of the wood due to variation of moisture in the air. Indoor humidity levels having a 35% min to 55% max RH is recommended. Relative humidity changes per outdoor air temperature changing. For equilibrium moisture content (EMC) is proportional to relative humidity (RH) which in effect cause wood fibers to be susceptible to warping, splitting and cracking when wood experiences excessive humidity level changes. But when levels are controlled to minor fluctuations, furniture will tolerate change better. Wood is a dynamic material and responds to humidity so regulate your humidity level in your home will help your furniture maintain its beauty.
