6. Maintenance

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

• Cleaning: The high-gloss surface is waterproof and easy to clean. Use a soft, damp cloth with mild soap and water. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that could damage the finish. Dry immediately with a clean, soft cloth.
• Hardware Check: Periodically check all screws and fasteners to ensure they remain tight. Retighten if necessary, but do not overtighten.
• Drawer Tracks: Keep drawer tracks free of dust and debris to maintain smooth operation.

7. Troubleshooting

• Drawers Not Aligning: If drawers appear misaligned, check that all drawer slides are correctly installed and that the dresser frame is assembled squarely. Ensure all screws are tightened. Slight adjustments to drawer slide placement may be necessary.
• Stiff or Sticky Drawers: Ensure drawer tracks are clean and free of obstructions. A small amount of silicone lubricant can be applied to the tracks if needed.
• Loose Hardware: If any part feels wobbly, re-examine the assembly steps and tighten all relevant screws and cam locks.
• Sticker Residue: If any labels leave residue, gently remove with a soft cloth dampened with rubbing alcohol or a specialized adhesive remover. Test on an inconspicuous area first.
