***Due to natural variations which occur in hardwoods, such as grain, texture and color, as well as factors such as aging and exposure to various forms of light variations can occur. Solid wood is affected by humidity and will shrink or swell according to humidity level. Maintain humidity levels at approximately 35-45% relative humidity. Failure to do so can result in shrinking, swelling or cracking of the furniture and we are not held liable for this.***
