Delivery & Care
Your North Valley Woodworks dining table is handcrafted to become part of your home for years to come. From coordinating delivery to caring for your solid hardwood furniture, we want you to feel confident about your purchase long after it's completed.
Here's what to expect when your furniture is ready, along with practical guidance to help preserve its natural beauty.
Delivery & Setup
Every North Valley Woodworks dining table is handcrafted to order in our New Mexico workshop. Once your furniture is completed, we'll contact you to coordinate delivery at a mutually convenient time.
We offer local delivery throughout the Albuquerque area and can arrange delivery to Santa Fe and other New Mexico communities. Delivery charges are determined by your location and included in your order estimate.
Before delivery, please make sure the intended space is accessible and that doorways, hallways, and entryways can accommodate your furniture.
If you have questions about access, placement, or delivery arrangements, we're happy to discuss them before your furniture arrives.
Caring for Your Solid Hardwood Furniture
Solid hardwood furniture is designed to last for generations with proper care. Because wood is a natural material, it responds to changes in temperature and humidity throughout the year.
Everyday Cleaning
Dust regularly with a soft, dry microfiber cloth. For everyday cleaning, use a slightly damp cloth and dry the surface immediately. Avoid abrasive cleaners, harsh chemicals, and silicone-based furniture polishes.
Protecting the Finish
Use coasters, placemats, and trivets to protect your tabletop from moisture, scratches, and heat. Wipe up spills promptly, and never place hot cookware directly on the finished surface.
Temperature & Humidity
Maintain a reasonably consistent indoor environment. In New Mexico's dry climate, a humidifier may help reduce excessive seasonal wood movement. Avoid placing furniture directly against heating vents or in prolonged, intense sunlight.
Natural expansion and contraction are normal characteristics of solid hardwood and do not necessarily indicate a defect.
