5. Maintenance
To maintain the appearance and longevity of your Winsome Newport Wine Bar, follow these care instructions:
- Clean the surface with a soft, damp cloth.
- Avoid using harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or furniture polish that may damage the walnut finish.
- Wipe up spills immediately to prevent staining.
- Keep the wine bar away from direct sunlight and extreme temperature changes to prevent warping or fading.
6. Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your wine bar, consider the following:
- Assembly Difficulties: If parts do not align or hardware seems stripped, double-check the assembly instructions. Ensure all pieces are oriented correctly. If a part is genuinely defective, contact customer support for assistance.
- Stability Issues: Ensure the wine bar is placed on a flat, even surface. If used on thick rugs, the stability might be reduced; consider placing it against a wall or using furniture sliders for better balance.
- Sticker Residue: If a sticker leaves residue, gently heat it with a hairdryer on a low setting to soften the adhesive, then carefully peel it off. Use a soft cloth with a small amount of rubbing alcohol or furniture polish to remove any remaining residue, testing on an inconspicuous area first.
- Damaged or Missing Parts: If your product arrives damaged or with missing components, please contact Winsome customer support or the retailer where you purchased the item for resolution.
