Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and appearance of your HOMCOM L-Shaped Desk, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Cleaning: Wipe surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the engineered wood finish.
- Spills: Clean up spills immediately to prevent moisture damage or staining.

If you encounter issues during assembly or use, refer to the following common solutions:
- Missing or Damaged Parts: If you find any parts missing or damaged upon opening the package, do not proceed with assembly. Contact HOMCOM customer support with your model number and a description of the issue for assistance.
- Difficulty Aligning Parts: Ensure you are following the assembly diagrams precisely. Sometimes, loosening adjacent screws slightly can help with alignment before re-tightening everything.
- Wobbly Desk: Check that all fasteners are securely tightened. Ensure the desk is placed on a level surface. If necessary, use furniture levelers (not included) under the legs.
