7. Maintenance
To keep your FiveWillowise Buffet Cabinet in excellent condition, follow these maintenance tips:
- Cleaning: Wipe surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as they may damage the laminate finish.
- Spills: Promptly clean up any spills to prevent staining or water damage to the engineered wood. The surface is waterproof and scratch-resistant, but immediate cleaning is always recommended.
- Inspection: Periodically check all screws and connections to ensure they remain tight. Retighten if necessary.
- Sunlight Exposure: Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight to prevent fading or discoloration of the wood finish.

8. Troubleshooting
Here are solutions to common issues you might encounter:
- Doors do not align properly:
Adjust the hinges on the inside of the cabinet doors. Most hinges allow for vertical, horizontal, and depth adjustments using a screwdriver. Refer to the hinge adjustment section in your detailed manual. - Cabinet feels wobbly:
Ensure all cam locks and screws are fully tightened. Verify that the cabinet is placed on a level surface. If the floor is uneven, use furniture glides or shims under the legs to stabilize. Confirm the anti-tip mechanism is correctly installed and secured to the wall. - Difficulty closing doors:
Check for any obstructions inside the cabinet. Ensure the hinges are properly aligned and adjusted. Sometimes, loosening and re-tightening the hinge screws can resolve this.
