PRODUCT CARE AND HANDLING

Bamboo is a remarkable material known for its strength, durability, and eco-friendliness. To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your ShadowStacks, please follow these care and handling guidelines:

  1. Handle with Care: ShadowStacks are made from high-quality bamboo, a strong and sustainable material. Handle them gently to ensure they remain in perfect condition.

  2. Proper Storage: Store your ShadowStacks in a dry place. While bamboo is resilient and can handle some exposure to sunlight, it’s best to avoid prolonged direct sunlight to maintain its natural beauty.

  3. Usage Guidelines: Follow our usage instructions carefully. Bamboo’s natural strength allows for versatile use, but avoid applying excessive force or pressure during setup and use.

  4. Cleaning: Bamboo is easy to maintain. Use a soft, dry cloth to clean your ShadowStacks. There’s no need for water or harsh chemicals, which helps preserve the material's integrity.

By following these simple guidelines, you can ensure your ShadowStacks remain in excellent condition, providing you with creative versatility and beautiful results for years to come.

Note: Bamboo’s natural qualities make it a fantastic material for sustainable products. However, proper care and handling are essential to preserve its strength and beauty. Obscura is not liable for damage caused by improper use or care.
