Product Description

Benefits of Maxwell Thomas Casegood Furniture

Maxwell Thomas casegoods were designed specifically for the Senior Living market. All
bedside cabinets and dressers are covered in a moisture-protectant laminate to enhance
durability, and select bedroom cabinet collections have leveling glides to help ensure a
perfectly level and stable surface. Back panels are vented so air can circulate through the
cabinets, and all drawers are sealed to hold in liquids. Wardrobes provide ample storage
space with height-adjustable shelves and hanging rods. All cabinets have large fixed pulls to
enable better dexterity and easier operation with smooth ¾-pull drawer slides. Headboards
and footboards are designed to fit standard resident beds and add a touch of home to any
room. Maxwell Thomas casegood furniture combines commercial-grade durability with
traditional and transitional designs to enhance your community.

Cleaning

We recommend the following cleaning practices to help maintain the appearance of the
thermolaminate and laminate surfaces on your Maxwell Thomas casegood furniture.

Laminate and thermolaminate surfaces should be cleaned using a damp cloth or
sponge with a mild soap or detergent. Difficult stains, such as coffee or tea, can be
removed using a mild household cleaner/detergent and a soft bristled brush, repeating
as necessary. DO NOT use abrasive chemicals, as they can damage and discolor the
surfaces. Use of bleach or other harsh chemicals can cause damage to the surfaces, so
their use is strongly discouraged. Dry all surfaces immediately following cleaning and
allow units to completely dry before placing items that could be damaged from moisture
on the cleaned surfaces.

Maintenance

Examine the product at least every 60 days, or more often as needed, for loose screws,
joints and other miscellaneous damage. Do not use the product if it has been damaged
in any way. If there is damage, evaluate the extent and tighten, adjust or replace screws
as needed. Use furniture touch-up markers and furniture polish for minor wood finish
scratches and scuffs.
