Proper care will ensure the longevity and appearance of your cabinet.

• Sunlight Exposure: Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, which can cause fading or discoloration.
• Humidity: Maintain a stable humidity level in the room to prevent wood from expanding or contracting excessively.

If you encounter any issues, refer to the following common solutions:
