Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and appearance of your desk, follow these care instructions:

• Cleaning: Dust and wipe the surface with a dry, soft cloth. If needed, a damp cloth may be used sparingly. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
• Spills: Wipe up spills immediately to prevent damage to the distressed gray oak finish. The desk is not stain-resistant.
• Heat and Moisture: Avoid placing hot items directly on the surface. Use coasters or protective pads for drinks and other items that may leave marks or cause moisture damage.
• Sunlight: Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight may cause fading or discoloration.

Troubleshooting

• Wobbling: If the desk wobbles, check that all leg screws are securely tightened. Ensure the desk is on a level surface.
• Surface Damage: The distressed gray oak finish is durable but can be susceptible to scratches or water damage if not properly cared for. Use protective mats or coasters to prevent marks.
• Height Concerns: The desk has a height of 26.75 inches. If this height is not suitable for your chair or ergonomic needs, consider using furniture risers or an adjustable chair.
