To ensure the longevity and appearance of your buffet, follow these care instructions:

• Cleaning: Wipe surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners, harsh chemicals, or solvents, as these can damage the finish.

If you encounter any issues with your buffet, consider the following:

• Wobbly unit: Ensure all screws and cam locks are fully tightened. Check that the buffet is on a level surface. Adjust feet if applicable.
