1. The biggest weakness of engineered wood furniture is the potential for poor edge sealing, especially during the summer months. This can lead to moisture absorption, causing the engineered wood to swell and deform. Therefore, when using such furniture, it is recommended to place waterproof pads under the legs, with a slight gap from the wall, to prevent moisture absorption.
2. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, as this can cause blistering or cracking on the surface.
3. Avoid placing cold or hot items, or items with sharp edges or rough bottoms, directly on the furniture surface. Also, do not use organic solvents to clean the surface.
4. When cleaning furniture surfaces of dust and stains, use a clean, lint-free cloth. Otherwise, this may damage the finish, resulting in a loss of luster.
5. Engineered wood furniture is most susceptible to damage from dragging. When moving furniture, it is best to lift it off the ground.
6. Avoid placing heavy objects on desktops or table edges, as this can cause furniture to deform, become unstable, or tilt due to excessive weight.
