Disclaimer

Chicago Cabinetry products are wood products, constructed from several pieces of solid wood, wood fiberboards, and wood veneers on plywood. Differences in grain pattern and color is to be expected. Naturally occurring wood characteristics, such as variations in color, grain, mineral streaks, and knots, are not considered to be defects. Color variations and color softening in cabinetry are natural occurrences as a result of variations in species, age, character of cabinets, and exposure to ultraviolet light. For these reasons, new and/or replacement cabinets may not match display samples and/or existing cabinets. Such variations and changes are not considered defects.

 

This warranty applies only to defects as defined by Chicago Cabinetry and does not apply to changes brought on by extreme environmental variables, such as high or low humidity, high or low ambient temperatures, or exposure to sunlight. These changes include the yellowing and aging of any wood product or gaps that may develop in door joints.

Painted finishes reacted to environmental conditions differently than stained finishes with normal wood movement; climatic conditions may result in breaks in the finish, recesses, and/or joint and panel lines. These are considered normal occurrences and are not covered under this warranty. Cabinet doors subject to warping must be allowed to hang through one season heating cycle before a claim for replacement may be filed under this warranty. Cabinet doors that are warped in either direction not exceeding ¼” do not exceed normal material expectation and are not covered under the terms of this warranty.
