6. Maintenance
- Cleaning: Wipe the surface with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that could damage the finish.
- Spills: Although the top panel is waterproof, promptly wipe any liquid spills to prevent moisture from seeping into the engineered wood and causing swelling.
- Regular Checks: Periodically check all screws and fasteners to ensure they remain tight. Retighten if necessary to maintain stability.
