Kiln-Dried
Wood dried in a controlled kiln to reduce moisture and improve stability.
Definition
Kiln-dried lumber is dried in a controlled environment to a target moisture content. For furniture sold in the U.S., kiln-dried hardwoods are less likely to warp, crack, or shrink dramatically after delivery—especially with seasonal heating and humid summers.
