Maintenance
Proper care will extend the life and appearance of your nightstand.
- Cleaning: Wipe surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the walnut finish.
- Spills: Immediately wipe up any spills to prevent water damage or staining. The surface is designed to be water-resistant, but prolonged exposure to liquids should be avoided.
- Dusting: Regularly dust with a dry, soft cloth.
- Sunlight: Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight to prevent fading or discoloration of the wood finish.
- Stability Check: Periodically check all screws and fasteners to ensure they remain tight. Retighten if necessary to maintain stability.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your nightstand, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
