To maintain the appearance and longevity of your SUNLEI Kitchen Island, follow these simple care instructions:
- Cleaning: Wipe the countertop and all surfaces with a dry cloth. For spills, use a damp cloth immediately and dry thoroughly. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Stability: Periodically check all screws and fasteners to ensure they are tight. Re-tighten if necessary.

- Wheel Care: Keep wheels free of debris to ensure smooth movement.
