Furniture is made to be used and enjoyed every day. Here are some ways to keep damage from everyday use to a minimum:

• Use coasters to prevent spills, stains and damage from food and beverages.
• Keep solvents, alcohol, nail polish and polish removers away from furniture surfaces.
• Blot all spills immediately.
• Pick up (don't slide) lamps and other objects when dusting the furniture's surface.
• Lift (don't drag) furniture to move it.
• Gently open and close doors, drawers and lids.
