Your furniture can be stained or left in its natural state. However, staining can prolong the life of your furniture. If you wish to preserve the look of unfinished cedar, we recommend using a wood preservative. You can finish your furniture immediately.

Choosing a Finish

Stains come in many colors. We recommend that you test a stain in an inconspicuous spot before you begin. **Most paint counters have samples of stain on wood for customers to see.

How to Prepare your Furniture: Preparation is key when using stains on wood furniture. It is important that wood is dry and clean when it is stained.

• Be sure to protect your surrounding from stain and be sure you have adequate ventilation.
• Apply to furniture when temperature is between recommended levels on the label.
• Sand your furniture with a palm sander or by hand with 150 grit or finer sandpaper. Be sure to sand with the grain of the wood. Remove dust with a lint free cloth or a clean paint brush. The tapered ends of the furniture are rougher and may require more.

Applying a Finish

Separate parts of the furniture from the whole. For example - remove any dresser drawers.

Apply finish as directed on manufacturer’s label. A clear coat may be added after stain has dried.

Lakeland Mills Inc understands that our environment is extremely important not only to our children and grandchildren, but to yours as well. When it comes to manufacturing furniture and garden products, wood is one of the best choices for environmental sustainability.

• Wood does not emit toxins like petroleum based plastic.
• Our wood trellises will not get hot and burn plants, like metal trellises can.
• Wood does not get hot or tarnish like metal furniture.
• Wood naturally decomposes back into nature where it started.
• Northern White Cedar maintains it’s durability for years.

Because it is naturally rot and insect resistant, Lakeland Mills’ choice of wood is Northern White Cedar - most of which is purchased right here in Michigan. We utilize the top of the trees that are left behind in the forest by the log home industry. The log pieces that cannot be used in our various furniture designs, are used to fire our kiln and supplement the heat in our plant, thereby using less energy.

• Our furniture is also available with a finish that is water based. It contains no lead, and is non hazardous.
• Furniture cartons are made of recycled material.
• We have reduced our landfill waste by over 75% by establishing a recycling program. We also encourage our employees to participate in this program by bringing recyclables from home.
• We have implemented soft starts which reduces our energy consumption.

Lakeland Mills is proud to produce high quality products that are made right here in the USA, at a cost our customers can afford.

Purchasing quality indoor and outdoor furniture that has little environmental impact is what Lakeland Mills is all about. Please visit our website @ www.lakelandmills.com, or call us @ 800 427 5136.
