Cleaning
To maintain the appearance and longevity of your filing cabinet, follow these cleaning guidelines:
- Wipe surfaces with a soft, damp cloth.

General Care
- Periodically check all screws and fasteners to ensure they are tight. Re-tighten if necessary.
- Keep the cabinet away from direct sunlight and extreme temperature changes to prevent warping or fading.

Troubleshooting
- Drawers do not slide smoothly: Check that the drawer slides are properly aligned and free of obstructions. Ensure all assembly screws for the slides are tight.
- Drawers do not close completely: Verify that nothing is obstructing the back of the drawer or the cabinet interior. Check for proper alignment of drawer slides.
- Cabinet feels wobbly: Ensure the cabinet is on a level surface. Check and tighten all assembly hardware.
