• Frame Care: The steel frame can be wiped clean with a damp cloth.
• Regular Inspection: Periodically check all screws and fasteners to ensure they are tight. Retighten if necessary.
• Avoid Direct Sunlight: Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight may cause fading or damage to the materials.

6. Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your storage box, refer to the following common solutions.

• Wobbly or Uneven: Check if all adjustable feet are properly installed and adjusted. Rotate the feet to level the box on uneven floors. Ensure all frame screws are tightened.
• Lid Not Closing Properly: Verify that the hinge mechanism is correctly aligned and secured. Check for any obstructions in the storage compartment that might prevent the lid from closing fully.
• Squeaking Noises: Apply a small amount of silicone lubricant to the hinge points if they produce noise during operation.
• Scratches on Surfaces: Minor scratches on wood panels can sometimes be minimized with furniture polish or repair kits. For faux leather, avoid sharp objects.
