DO
- Always carefully lift furniture when moving it around the home and never drag it.
- Rotate cushions regularly to even out wear and fading.
- Use floor protectors on the bottoms of furniture (such as tables and chairs) to minimise damage to floor coverings.
- Use coasters, placemats, tablecloths and table runners to protect furniture surfaces from heat and stains.
- Anchor your furniture to a wall for added safety.
- Keep your pets off the furniture to avoid any little “accidents” or damage.
DO NOT
- Place any indoor furniture in direct sunlight as this may cause fabric, leather and other materials to fade or crack. Direct sunlight includes sunlight through a window - use curtains or blinds to protect your furniture.
- Place furniture too close to a heater or air conditioning vent as this may distort the material or surface finish.
- Avoid sitting on the arms of sofas and chairs. They’re not designed for that.
- Avoid standing on chairs and stools or rocking on the back of them, as this may weaken the structure and possibly cause joint failure.
