6. Maintenance

Proper care and maintenance will extend the life and appearance of your Bush Furniture Fairview set.

• Cleaning: Wipe surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the finish.
• Spills: Clean up spills immediately to prevent staining or damage to the wood finish.
• Hardware: Periodically check all screws and fasteners to ensure they are tight. Re-tighten as needed to maintain structural integrity.
• Sunlight Exposure: Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, which can cause fading or discoloration of the finish.

7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your furniture, consider the following common solutions:

• Wobbly Desk/Cabinet: Ensure the furniture is on a level surface. Check and tighten all assembly screws. If the floor is uneven, use furniture levelers if available or place shims under the legs.
• Drawers Not Sliding Smoothly: Check for obstructions in the drawer slides. Ensure the slides are properly aligned and lubricated if necessary (use a silicone-based lubricant, not oil). Verify that the drawer is not overloaded.
• Doors Not Closing Properly: Check hinges for proper alignment and tightness. Adjust hinges as needed according to the assembly instructions.
