How can I adjust my drawers if they move or stick?
UNDERMOUNT DRAWER SLIDE ADJUSTMENT
If the drawers in your furniture become over weighted, or out of adjustment from transport, you can adjust the drawer slides in every direction.
To raise the drawer face upwards: Pull the drawer outwards and find the dark grey tabs on the front locking devices, located underneath the drawer face on either side, and move them towards the back of the case piece, thereby raising the drawer slightly. they can be moved independently.
Do you use sustainable wood sources for your furniture?
We believe in harvesting wood in a responsible manner to preserve forests for future generations. Our sources of wood come from state and federal lands managed for long term growth and sustainable harvesting practices.
This is a part of the Vermonter mindset going back generations. It includes a deep respect for the land and trees that makes this state so unique in our country. We have worked with hardwood brokers and sawmills for decades, establishing close working relationships with those intimately involved in forest management and sustainability.
Are the finishes used on the furniture toxic?
The base finish in all our furniture is a non-toxic, zero VOC (volatile organic compounds) Danish oil based on the carriage oils of the 1800’s. It is a linseed oil based finish. We augment higher wear surfaces with polyurethane oil that cures completely before leaving our shop.
We have worked with many customers who have chemical sensitivities. They have found our furniture and finish to be compatible with their specific environmental needs.
How do I care for my furniture once I recieve it?
Wood is a live medium. As such it responds to our home environment with high and low humidity. Like our skin, wood appreciates oil to restore its natural balance with wear and touch and room conditions. We reccommend oiling your furniture with a high quality furniture oil once a year in the beginning and less often over time. You will notice that oiling will hydrate your furniture and restore the wood's natural beauty of color and grain, while deepening the patina that occurs with age.
