Care and Maintenance

• Cleaning: Wipe the sideboard with a dry cloth to remove dust and dirt. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the clear wax finish.
• Spills: Immediately wipe any spills with a soft, dry cloth to prevent staining or water damage.
• Wax Finish: Periodically, you may re-wax the surface with a suitable furniture wax to maintain its luster and protective qualities. Follow the wax product's instructions.
• Sunlight Exposure: Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, which can cause the wood to fade or change color over time.
• Temperature and Humidity: Maintain a stable room temperature and humidity level to prevent the wood from warping or cracking.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your Vida Designs Corona Sideboard, please refer to the following common solutions:

• Wobbly Unit: Ensure all screws and fasteners are tightened. Check that the sideboard is placed on a level surface. If necessary, use shims under the legs to stabilize.
• Drawers Sticking/Not Closing: Check for obstructions inside the drawer or along the runners. Ensure the drawer runners are properly aligned and lubricated if needed. Do not overload drawers.
• Doors Not Closing Properly: Inspect hinges for proper alignment and tightness. Adjust hinges if necessary according to the assembly instructions. Check for any items obstructing the door's path.
• Scratches/Dents: Minor scratches can often be minimized with furniture polish or a touch-up pen matching the wood color. For deeper damage, professional repair may be required.
