DISCLAIMER:

WARPED DOORS
Due to the natural characteristics, wood will expand and contract over time. Therefore, a small amount of
warping can be expected. It is quite common for wood to return to its original form after acclimating to the
environment. Doors warped up to a ¼” are not considered to be defective. Moldings and panels warped up
to 2” are not considered to be defective. Doors must be hung for at least three months in order to acclimate
to the environment before a warranty claim may be filed. In many cases, doors that appear to be warped
are the result of improper adjustment.

GLAZED FINISHES
Glazed finishes are applied by hand and are designed to have an uneven finish. It is common for some
edges to appear heavier or lighter than others and this may vary door to door, drawer to drawer and item to
item. These features are common and are not considered to be a defect.

JOINT SPLITS
Before choosing a paint as your finish, it should be noted that joint splits are unavoidable on painted wood
cabinets and are not a defect or a sign of poor quality. Because wood naturally expands and contracts with
seasonal changes in temperature and humidity, there is movement at the seams of the cabinet doors and
face frames that will look like the paint is “cracking” at the joints. Joint splits occur wherever there is a joint
between pieces of wood with grain running in different directions. For example, the joints between stiles
(vertical pieces) and rails (horizontal pieces) on mortise and tenon doors, miter joints, or the face frames
that surround the door openings.

SHRINKAGE OF CENTER PANELS
Center panels may undergo expansion and contraction as they adjust to temperature and atmospheric
humidity. Therefore, defects cannot be determined until three months of settling time have passed. Once
settling time has passed, you may file a warranty claim if shrinkage exceeds 1/8”.

COLOR & GRAIN VARIENCES
Due to natural characteristics found in wood, stained cabinets may vary in color, texture and grain. Varied
shading in cabinetry stains are to be expected and are not considered a defect. Replacement parts may
vary in their natural color variation from those which were originally supplied to You.

HINGES AND SLIDES
Hardware failure is very uncommon amongst slides and hinges. Failure is very often the result of improper
installation or adjustment. Replacement parts may vary from their original look or appearance. Before
determining your hardware as defective, please review our installation and adjustment instructions.
