We developed the 14" seat height chairs and 24" high table for people who felt their children would get longer use from this size.

  1. Wash with mild soap and water when needed.
  2. Dry immediately.
  3. Rub with a good cutting board wax or oil, such as food safe mineral oil to rejuvenate the wood and maintain cell structure. (Don’t use cooking, furniture, lemon, orange oils; or Murphy’s Oil Soap because they may become rancid or tacky.)
  4. Never soak your board in water, put in the dishwasher or microwave.
  5. If you get a little fuzz on the wood with the first cleaning, a light sanding eliminates it.

With minimal care, you will preserve the appearance and have many years of service and satisfaction.
