Maintenance
Proper care will help maintain the appearance and longevity of your solid wood dresser.
- Cleaning: Wipe with a dry cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners, harsh chemicals, or excessive moisture, which can damage the wood finish.
- Spills: Blot spills immediately with a clean, dry cloth.
- Sunlight: Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, which can cause fading or discoloration.
- Humidity: Maintain a consistent humidity level in the room to prevent wood from expanding or contracting, which can lead to cracks or warping.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Drawers stick or do not slide smoothly | Misaligned drawer slides, loose hardware, uneven floor | Check and tighten all drawer slide hardware. Ensure the dresser is on a level surface. Apply a small amount of paraffin wax or silicone spray to wooden glides if needed. |
| Dresser wobbles | Uneven floor, loose leg attachments, loose frame hardware | Adjust leg levelers if present, or place shims under legs. Tighten all frame and leg hardware. Ensure anti-tip kit is properly installed. |
