2. Safety Information

Please read all safety instructions before assembly and use. Failure to follow these instructions may result in injury or damage to the product.

• Assembly: This dresser is delivered unassembled. Assembly should be performed by at least two adults to ensure safety and proper handling of components.

6. Maintenance

Proper care will ensure the longevity and appearance of your AKORD dresser.

• Cleaning: The dresser can be cleaned with a dry or damp cloth. For damp cleaning, use a soft cloth lightly moistened with water or a mild, non-abrasive cleaning solution. Wipe dry immediately.
• Surface Protection: The laminated surface is scratch-resistant, water-repellent, and stain-resistant. However, avoid prolonged exposure to moisture or harsh chemicals. Use coasters under drinks and protective pads under hot items.
