5. Maintenance

Proper care and maintenance will ensure the longevity and appearance of your Tangkula Rattan Outdoor Storage Cabinet.

• Cleaning: Wipe the surfaces with a damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, use a mild soap solution and then wipe clean with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, which can damage the PE rattan and acacia wood finish.
• Weather Protection: While the PE rattan is sun-proof and anti-fading, and the acacia wood is anti-crack, it is recommended to protect the cabinet from prolonged exposure to heavy rain, snow, or extreme weather conditions to extend its lifespan. Consider using a furniture cover during off-seasons or severe weather.
• Acacia Wood Care: The painted acacia wood top is burr-free and easy to clean. Regular wiping will maintain its appearance.
• Inspection: Periodically check all screws and connections to ensure they remain tight. Retighten if necessary.

6. Troubleshooting

This section addresses common issues you might encounter with your storage cabinet.

• Wobbling Cabinet: If the cabinet feels unstable or wobbles, ensure it is placed on a flat surface. Adjust the individual foot pads on the bottom of the cabinet until it is level and stable.
• Doors Not Closing Properly: Check if the cabinet is level. If not, adjust the foot pads. Ensure all assembly screws are tightened. Verify that the magnetic catches are properly aligned and functioning.
• Scratches on Wood Top: Minor scratches on the acacia wood top can sometimes be buffed out with a wood-specific polish or touch-up pen. For deeper scratches, professional repair may be needed.
• Rattan Damage: If the PE rattan shows signs of wear or damage, contact customer support for advice on repair or replacement parts. Avoid pulling or cutting loose rattan strands.
