6. Maintenance

Proper care will help maintain the appearance and structural integrity of your nightstand.

• Cleaning: Wipe surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, which can damage the painted finish.
• Drawer Maintenance: The drawer operates on a wood-on-wood mechanism. For smoother operation, apply furniture wax to the contact surfaces of the drawer and its runners periodically.
• Protection: Use coasters under drinks and protective pads under hot items to prevent water rings and heat damage.
• Environmental Conditions: Avoid placing the nightstand in direct sunlight or near heat sources, as this can cause wood to dry out, crack, or warp. Maintain stable humidity levels.
• Fastener Check: Regularly inspect all screws and bolts and tighten them if they have loosened over time.

7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your nightstand, refer to the following common problems and solutions:

• Problem: Parts do not align during assembly, or holes do not match.
  Solution: Double-check the assembly instructions and diagrams to ensure you are using the correct parts and orientation. Loosen previously tightened fasteners slightly to allow for adjustment, then retighten once alignment is achieved. If parts are significantly mismanufactured, contact customer support.
• Problem: Drawer sticks or does not slide smoothly.
  Solution: Ensure the drawer is assembled correctly and not warped. Apply furniture wax to the wooden runners and contact points of the drawer to reduce friction. Check for any obstructions within the drawer cavity.
• Problem: Nightstand is wobbly or unstable.
  Solution: Verify that all assembly fasteners are securely tightened. Ensure the nightstand is placed on a flat, level surface. If the floor is uneven, use furniture pads or shims under the legs to stabilize it.
• Problem: Wood appears chipped or damaged.
  Solution: Minor chips can sometimes be touched up with a furniture repair marker or paint matching the finish. For significant damage, contact customer support for possible replacement parts or guidance.
