- Sunlight Exposure: Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight to prevent fading of the velvet fabric.

- Cushions: The seat and backrest cushions are fixed and not removable.
- Legs: Periodically check and tighten the golden metal legs to ensure stability.
6. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Sofa feels unstable or wobbly. | Legs are not tightened sufficiently. | Check and tighten all leg attachments. Ensure the sofa is on a level surface. |
| Difficulty converting the sofa to a bed or back. | Mechanism is stiff or obstructed. | Ensure no objects are obstructing the mechanism. Apply gentle, even pressure. If still stiff, the mechanism may need lubrication (consult professional). |
| Fabric appears flattened or matted. | Normal wear and tear for velvet. | Gently brush the velvet pile with a soft brush in the direction of the nap to restore its appearance. |
