4. Maintenance

4.1 Cleaning the Desk Surfaces

To clean the engineered wood tabletop and shelves, wipe with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or excessive moisture, as these can damage the finish. Dry immediately with a clean, dry cloth.

4.2 Care for the Steel Frame

The steel frame can be cleaned with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn marks, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by wiping with a clean, damp cloth and drying thoroughly to prevent rust.

4.3 Regular Inspections

Periodically inspect all screws and connections to ensure they are tight. Retighten any loose fasteners to maintain the desk's stability and structural integrity.

5. Troubleshooting

5.1 Tabletop Does Not Lock When Elevated

If the tiltable tabletop does not securely lock into its elevated positions, check the adjustment mechanism for any obstructions or damage. Ensure the locking pins or levers are fully engaged. If a part appears broken, refer to the support section.

5.2 Desk Wobbles or is Unstable

Ensure all assembly screws are fully tightened. Adjust the non-marking feet on the bottom of the desk legs to compensate for uneven floor surfaces. Rotate each foot until the desk is stable and level.

5.3 Difficulty During Assembly

If you encounter difficulties during assembly, double-check the included assembly manual for detailed diagrams and instructions. Ensure all parts are correctly oriented before tightening screws. Sometimes, a second person can assist with aligning components.
