What can result from improper stacking of wood furniture after applying restoration products?

Improper stacking of wood furniture after applying restoration products can lead to distortion of the finish. When wood furniture items are stacked too closely together or in a way that puts undue pressure on one another, the finish can become uneven or altered. This distortion can happen because the finishes applied, such as varnish or polyurethane, require adequate curing and bonding to create a protective layer. If the furniture pieces are not properly managed during this process, the weight and pressure can cause the finish to warp or shift, leading to an undesirable appearance and potentially necessitating further repair or refinishing.

The distortion of the finish is a critical concern in restoration processes, as it affects not only the aesthetics of the furniture but potentially its protection against moisture and other environmental factors. Therefore, ensuring the correct stacking methods and allowing enough space for air circulation and drying is essential in restoration work.
