New Drawers

Just got my Drawers from John..He is definitely a true craftsman... curious if you seasoned them before putting into use and if so how long... if not, did it have any effect on maintaining your desired RH?

It was so humid out during the week they were delivered, I was cautious. I put one drawer in, and left the others in the box in the garage. The humidity was up a bit the next day, so I brought the rest of the drawers into the air conditioning and unwrapped them. Let it go over night and put them all in. I should have probably waited longer. I'm still hovering at 69% to 70% versus the 65% I was at before. This is with HF Beads.
I wouldn't worry too much about seasoning with the summer we've been having!
Enjoy those drawers. I love mine!
