Everyone knows that rosewood furniture generally lasts a long time due to its high density, hardness, and the use of mortise and tenon joints. Manufacturers generally take every possible measure to ensure the stability of their furniture during the production process, but don't assume that the lifespan of rosewood furniture is determined before you buy it; ongoing maintenance is crucial!

True furniture care begins when you place it in your home. First, avoid placing furniture near a heater . Turning on the heater in winter can cause the furniture to dry out rapidly, and the side facing the heater is heated unevenly from the outside, significantly increasing the risk of cracking and warping. If the heater is located behind a three-seater sofa, insert a wooden board between the sofa and the heater to create insulation. Also, avoid exposing the furniture to direct sunlight.

Secondly, it's best not to place furniture right next to a wall. This can cause the floor to be uneven, making the furniture appear lower in the front and higher in the back. Over time, this can cause the furniture to "sway," causing it to deform due to external forces and making it difficult to correct. Furniture with doors, such as top-box cabinets, can easily sag against the doors, misaligning them. Therefore, when the furniture is delivered to your home, be sure to have the delivery driver help you align it with floor mats. With these mats in place, you can push and pull the furniture around yourself without damaging the floor.

During use, it's best to use glass on frequently used surfaces like coffee tables and dining tables to prevent water from getting on the surface and causing burns. If water gets into the expansion joint, be sure to blow it out immediately. A piece of glass costs around a hundred yuan, and some stores will even give it away for free. Don't let a small expense cost you a lot!

Then comes maintenance. If your furniture is painted, simply wipe it clean periodically with a damp cloth. The paint will protect the wood well, but be careful not to scratch it. Waxed furniture is more difficult to clean. In addition to regular dusting, we recommend wiping the entire furniture with beeswax or redwood oil every quarter during the first year. Starting in the second year, you should maintain the furniture around the summer and winter solstices. After the fifth year, you can do this annually. Regular wiping will remove some of the wax, and the wax will evaporate, so it's important to reapply it regularly to protect the furniture.

Other precautions include increasing ventilation in the summer when the air is humid; mopping the floor frequently or purchasing a humidifier to maintain humidity in the winter; and avoiding leaving windows open when out for extended periods. While wood processing depends on the manufacturer's efforts, ongoing maintenance is crucial to the furniture's longevity. The journey from wood to finished product is a labor of love, and we hope you'll cherish it after it's delivered to you!
