6. Maintenance
- Cleaning: Wipe the desk surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, which can damage the finish.
- Hardware Check: Periodically inspect all screws and fasteners to ensure they remain tight. Re-tighten as needed to maintain stability.
- Lift Mechanism: The lift mechanism is designed for durability. If it becomes stiff, a small amount of silicone-based lubricant can be applied to the moving joints, avoiding contact with the wood finish.
- Avoid Extreme Conditions: Do not expose the desk to excessive moisture, direct sunlight for prolonged periods, or extreme temperature changes, as this may affect the engineered wood material.
