3. Insert Drawer: Slide the assembled drawer unit into its designated slot under the desk top. The drawer is equipped with a pull-out stop to prevent it from being accidentally removed.

• Drawer Usage: The drawer is suitable for storing small office supplies, documents, or laptops up to 14 inches. Pull the drawer gently to open and push to close. The built-in stop prevents the drawer from being pulled out completely.

6. Maintenance and Care

Proper care will help maintain the appearance and longevity of your LISABO desk.

• Cleaning: Wipe clean with a cloth dampened in a mild detergent.
• Drying: Always wipe dry with a clean, dry cloth immediately after cleaning to prevent moisture damage.
• Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use abrasive cleaners, strong solvents, or waxes, as these can damage the lacquer finish and wood veneer.
• Sunlight Exposure: Avoid prolonged direct exposure to sunlight, which can cause fading or discoloration of the wood.

If you encounter any issues with your LISABO desk, consider the following:

• Wobbling: Ensure all leg fittings are securely tightened. Check that the desk is placed on a flat, even surface.
