Hot, humid summers
High summer humidity is hard on any wood product. Keep cabinets in a closed, air-conditioned space until install, and run the HVAC before the cabinets go in.

Receiving
How to Receive a Cabinet Delivery
Cabinet wood is dried before it is milled (wood drying brings it to a stable moisture level), and a damp garage can undo that, which is why storage matters as much as the delivery itself.
A five-minute check at the truck protects you, because the ECG warranty does not cover damage from transportation, handling or storage.
- Count boxes against the packing list before the driver leaves
- Check for crushed corners, punctures or water marks
- Note any damage on the delivery receipt and take photos
- Store cabinets indoors in a dry, climate-controlled space
Storage
How to Store Cabinets by Climate
The warranty requires year-round climate control. Here is what that means in each climate we deliver to.
Cold winters, dry indoor heat
Winter heating dries the air indoors. Store cabinets inside a heated building, never in a garage or trailer, and let them adjust to the room before install.
Dry air and big temperature swings
Dry air and large day-to-night swings stress wood. Store cabinets indoors at room temperature and keep the home climate-controlled once they are in.
Four distinct seasons
Seasonal swings in humidity move wood. Store cabinets indoors and keep the home climate-controlled year-round after install.
