Maintenance and Care
To maintain the appearance and longevity of your AHB Executive Desk, follow these care guidelines:
- Cleaning: Wipe surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or polishes that may damage the finish.
- Spills: Immediately wipe up any spills to prevent moisture damage.
- Protection: Although the tabletop is scratch-resistant and wear-resistant, using coasters for drinks and desk pads for writing or computer equipment is recommended to further protect the surface.

Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your desk, please refer to the following common solutions:
- Wobbly Desk: Check all assembly connections. Ensure screws and cam locks are fully tightened. Verify the desk is on a level surface; use shims if necessary.
- Drawers Not Closing Smoothly: Inspect drawer slides for obstructions. Ensure the slides are correctly aligned and securely attached to both the drawer and the desk frame.
- Cabinet Door Misalignment: Adjust the hinges on the cabinet door. Most hinges allow for minor adjustments to align the door properly.
- Power Strip Not Working: Check if the power strip is properly plugged into a wall outlet. Ensure the wall outlet is functional. Do not exceed the power strip's maximum load capacity.
