MANUFACTURER DEFECTS
Just as no two trees are alike, no two pieces of wood are alike. The variation in color and grain pattern inwood adds to its natural beauty and is not considered an imperfection. Environmental factors, includingbut not limited to artificial/natural light, moisture, cleaners, smoke, etc. may cause the darkening ormellowing of a cabinet over time. This is a natural process and can be expected. This warranty does notcover the natural aging or darkening/mellowing of wood color, the inherent growth characteristics of, orvariation in wood.Some of our cabinet lines feature a glazed finish which accentuates the door and drawer front profiles.This glaze is hand applied over a stain or paint and may, due to the nature of application, consist ofrandom drips, runs, etc. As glazing is a hand applied process, there will be variations in color andappearance from door to door and cabinet to cabinet. This is not considered a defect and is considerednormal with hand applied finishes.It is the nature of wood to expand and contract to varying degrees depending on climate conditions. As aresult, cabinet lines with painted surfaces may show fractures in paint at joints. This is normal is notconsidered a defect.There is only one claim allowed per order so please take a close look at your purchase to make sureyou include all items that need replacing the first time.
