INFORMATION
INTERNET POLICY
We require a minimum markup on the
West Point Finished Wholesale price list. Please see our pricelist for more details.
We firmly believe that the products we are building are far superior to many of the imports and other cheap lines of furniture that are on the market today, and by selling at too low price devalues
this level of craftsmanship.
CARE OF SOLID WOOD TABLES
If cared for properly your solid hardwood table can give you a lifetime of service and beauty. Here are several care tips that will enhance your solid hardwood table investment:
• Place your table away from radiators, fireplaces, and heating ducts.
• Position table out of direct sunlight or adjust blinds to avoid hour after hour of direct sunlight.
• Control humidity to 40%–45%. In winter use a humidifier, in summer use a dehumidifier or air conditioner.
• Use coasters with non-scratching bottoms.
• Use padding under all sharp, hot, or cold
objects.
• Store table leaves in close proximity to table or in the same humidity, avoid storing leaves in damp basements where the leaves may swell.
• Avoid using nail polish remover, alcohol, and other solvents near or on table.
We are pleased that you have chosen to represent our 100% American made products and ask that you promote these products with confidence and truly believe in the product and sell it for what
it is worth.

ROUTINE CLEANING AND CARE
DUST CAREFULLY with a soft cloth, following the grain pattern of the wood. Use an old T-shirt, baby diaper or cheesecloth that has been laundered to remove the sizing.
DUST OFTEN to remove everyday abrasive particles from wood surfaces.
CONSIDER CLEANING with a mild nonalkaline soap and water. Use the suds in a damp sponge
or cloth, but be sure to pre-test the solution on an out-of-sight section to make sure it doesn’t damage the finish. Dry immediately with a soft cloth and buff lightly, following the grain.
DON’T WAX or use any polish that contains any silicones! Catalyzed heat and moisture resistant finishes don’t need additional polish, but if you want to use a polish we recommend Guardsman Furniture Polish.
REAL OR IMITATION?
Not sure if you’re buying solid hardwood or a chip imitation? A check point is the glue joints. Put your finger on a glue joint and trace it along the top of the surface, over the edge, and to the underside. If the line disappears its probably an imitation. Solid hardwood joints on the other hand can be traced across the top, the side and the underside.
