Care and Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and appearance of your DWVO dresser, follow these care guidelines:
- Cleaning: The dresser features an upgraded blister process finish, making it scratch and moisture-proof, as well as easier to clean. Wipe surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, which can damage the finish.
- Spills: Immediately wipe up any spills to prevent moisture damage.
- Sunlight Exposure: Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, which can cause fading or discoloration over time.
- Heat and Moisture: Keep the dresser away from direct heat sources and areas of high humidity.
- Hardware Check: Periodically check all screws and fasteners to ensure they remain tight. Tighten if necessary to maintain structural integrity.

Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your dresser, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
- Dresser Wobbles:
- Ensure the dresser is placed on a level surface.
- Check that all assembly screws and fasteners are securely tightened.
- Verify the anti-toppling device is correctly installed and anchored to the wall.
- Drawers Stick or Don't Close Smoothly:
- Check that the drawer tracks are properly aligned and free from obstructions.
- Ensure the drawer components are assembled correctly and not warped.
- Verify that the dresser frame is square and not twisted.
- Scratches or Damage to Finish:
- While the blister process finish is scratch-resistant, deep scratches can occur. For minor blemishes, furniture repair kits or markers matching the finish color may be used.
User Tips
- Maximize Storage: Utilize drawer organizers or dividers to keep items neatly separated within the deep drawers.
- Decorate Safely: The rounded corners of the dresser are designed to prevent bumping. When placing decorative items on top, ensure they are stable and do not exceed the 150 lbs weight capacity.
- Versatile Placement: Consider using multiple dressers side-by-side for an extended storage solution or as a stylish console table in larger spaces.
