Unfinished Furniture of Wilmington offer the lowest price possible on any item in our inventory. Many furniture stores inflate their prices to cover costs of shipping, and then advertise that item as 'Free Shipping'. We do realize that not all stores do this, but as we have found, the majority do. We also simply cannot afford to pay to ship items for you, and would rather use that money to improve our website, invest in more inventory and in our store location in Wilmington NC. Please note than any shipping we do charge, is charged out at cost. We make no profit on shipping!
Care and Cleaning
- Avoid using nail polish remover or other acetone products on or near your finished wood products. It will cause severe damage to the finish.
- Clean using a damp cloth. Dry dusting can push small dirt and dust particles into the surface.
- Avoid using cleaner or polish with silicone, wax solvents, or abrasives. We recommend using a gentle cleaner, like Method Daily Wood Cleaner.
- Never use alcohol on your wood surfaces. Much like acetone, alcohol will damage the finish.
- Try to place your furniture in an area that is out of direct sunlight. Overtime, continual sun and/or fluorescent light exposure can alter the finish and/or wood.
- Be wary of placing your furniture in the direct path of a heat source. Ideally, your furniture should be placed in an area with good air circulation, but the air shouldn’t be blowing directly on the piece.
- Keep the humidity in your home anywhere between 35 and 45 percent. If it is too low, it can cause the furniture to dry out and crack. Too high and the furniture can warp.
- Remove dust on a regular basis. Build up of dust can cause the finish to dull and can scratch the finish if not removed correctly.
- Wipe up spills promptly to negate damage to your piece. Our manufacturers all use finish that resists liquids, but if not cleaned up in a reasonable timeframe, spills can harm the finish.
