6. Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and appearance of your SHW Mission Desk, follow these maintenance guidelines:

• Cleaning the Desktop: The engineered wood desktop is designed to be waterproof and scratch-resistant. Wipe spills immediately with a dry cloth. For general cleaning, use a soft, damp cloth with a mild, non-abrasive cleaner. Avoid harsh chemicals.

7. Troubleshooting

• Desk is wobbly:
  • Ensure all screws are tightened securely.
  • Verify the desk is on a level surface. Adjust the floor levelers if present, or place shims under the legs if needed.
• Scratches on surface:
  • While the desktop is scratch-resistant, it is not scratch-proof. Use desk pads or mats for items that may cause scratches.
  • Minor scratches may be minimized with furniture repair kits designed for engineered wood.
• Difficulty with assembly:
  • Re-read the assembly instructions carefully.
  • Ensure you are using the correct hardware for each step.
