Important Safety Information
- Proper Assembly Required: Ensure all components are assembled correctly and securely according to the provided assembly instructions. Incorrect assembly can lead to instability and potential injury.
- Recommended Environment: Use the desk in appropriate indoor environments. Avoid exposure to extreme temperatures or excessive moisture.
- Avoid Overloading Drawers: Do not exceed the weight capacity of the drawers. Overloading can cause damage to the drawer mechanisms or compromise the desk's stability.
- Regular Fastening Checks: Periodically check that all assembly fastenings are properly tightened. Re-tighten as necessary to maintain structural integrity.

Care and Maintenance
Proper care will help maintain the high-gloss finish and structural integrity of your IKEA Bestå Burs Desk.
Cleaning Instructions:
- Wipe clean with a damp cloth. Use a mild cleaner if necessary, then wipe dry with a clean cloth.
- Avoid abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or chemical solvents, as these can damage the high-gloss surface.
- Promptly wipe up spills to prevent staining or damage to the finish.
Structural Maintenance:
- Regularly check all assembly fastenings (screws, bolts, etc.) and re-tighten them as needed. This prevents wobbling and ensures the desk remains stable and safe.
