Care and Maintenance

• Wipe clean with a damp cloth and a mild cleaner.
• Wipe dry with a clean cloth.
• Regularly check that all assembly fittings are properly tightened and re-tighten when necessary.
• Avoid exposing the furniture to direct sunlight or extreme temperature changes.

Troubleshooting

Problem: Doors do not close properly or are misaligned.

Solution: Check the hinge adjustments. Most hinges have screws for vertical, horizontal, and depth adjustments. Refer to the specific hinge instructions provided with your product. Ensure the frame is level and securely mounted.

Problem: Cables are still messy despite using outlets.

Solution: Utilize cable ties or cable management sleeves to bundle cables together. Ensure all devices are placed strategically to minimize cable length. Consider using additional cable organizers within the compartments.

Problem: TV bench feels unstable after wall mounting.

Solution: Immediately remove any weight from the bench. Re-check the wall fasteners and ensure they are appropriate for your wall material and installed correctly. Verify that the wall suspension rail is securely attached and level. If unsure, consult a qualified professional for installation.
