6. Maintenance and Care

Proper care will extend the life and maintain the appearance of your Anko Panelled 5 Tier Shelf.

• Spills: Clean up spills immediately to prevent staining or water damage to the engineered wood.
• Inspection: Periodically check all screws and wall fixings to ensure they remain tight and secure. Retighten if necessary.

7.2 Drawers Do Not Slide Smoothly

• Obstruction: Check for any items obstructing the drawer's path or caught in the runners.
