Choosing the right furniture for your home is a big decision, and caring for it properly ensures it will remain a cherished part of your home for generations. Trailway Furniture, handcrafted by skilled Amish artisans in Dundee, Ohio, is built with precision, tradition, and pride. It is designed to last a lifetime with the right care.
Here at Furniture Fair, we want to help you protect your heirloom-quality dining furniture so it continues to look beautiful year after year. In this article, we’ll share five simple care tips to help you maintain your new Trailway table and preserve its craftsmanship.
A soft, damp cloth is all you need to keep your handcrafted surface looking new. Avoid using a dry cloth, which can drag fine dust particles across the finish and leave small scratches. Wipe gently and follow the grain of the wood for the best results.
Quick Answer:Avoid products that contain silicone, wax, solvents, or abrasives, as they can damage the finish. If you’re unsure, ask a Furniture Fair consultant for a safe cleaner recommendation.
Trailway tables have a high-quality, spill-resistant finish, but standing liquid can still harm wood over time. Even small amounts of moisture can cause damage if left too long.
Quick Answer: Wipe up spills immediately with a soft, damp cloth and dry the area thoroughly to prevent water rings or clouding in the finish.
Wood naturally expands and contracts with changes in humidity. Keeping a balanced environment in your home helps prevent warping or cracking over the years.
Quick Answer: Maintain a humidity level between 40% and 45%. Use a humidifier in winter and a dehumidifier during humid months to protect your table’s structure.
Trailway tables include adjustable levelers to keep your dining surface perfectly stable on any floor. A level table prevents wobbling, reduces strain on joints, and ensures the surface stays aligned.
Quick Answer:Adjust the levelers under each leg until your table is flat and stable, especially after moving it to a new location or adding a rug.
Trailway takes great care to ensure each table leaf comes from the same tree as your tabletop, creating a consistent color and grain. Every leaf is hand-sanded and numbered to help you insert it properly.
Quick Answer:Match the stamped numbers, 1 to 1, 2 to 2, and so on, for a snug, seamless fit every time.
This system makes it easy to expand your table for guests or gatherings while keeping the surface smooth and even.
Trailway’s handcrafted Amish furniture is made to last for generations, but its longevity depends on consistent care. By following these simple steps, including cleaning gently, controlling humidity, preventing spills, adjusting for stability, and inserting leaves correctly, you’ll preserve both the look and integrity of your table for decades to come.
Quality matters when you invest in your home. Trailway’s dining sets combine Amish craftsmanship, solid wood construction, and timeless design, all backed by a commitment to lasting beauty.
