6. Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and appearance of your kitchen island, follow these maintenance guidelines:

• Cleaning: Wipe surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that may damage the finish.
• Spills: Clean up spills immediately to prevent staining, especially on the rubberwood countertop.
• Hardware: Periodically check and tighten all screws and fittings to ensure stability.
• Countertop Care: For the rubberwood top, consider using a food-safe wood conditioner periodically to maintain its luster and protect against moisture.

7. Troubleshooting

This section addresses common issues you might encounter:

7.1 Island is unstable or wobbly

• Solution: Check all assembly screws and ensure they are securely tightened. Verify that the island is on a level surface.

7.2 Drawers do not slide smoothly

• Solution: Ensure the drawer slides are properly aligned and free of obstructions. A small amount of silicone lubricant can be applied to the slides if needed.

7.3 Wheel locks are difficult to access
