6. Care and Maintenance
Proper care will extend the life and appearance of your Polibi Hall Tree.

- Hardware Check: Periodically check all screws, bolts, and connections to ensure they are tight. Retighten as necessary to maintain stability and safety.
- Sunlight Exposure: Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, which can cause fading or discoloration of the finish.
- Humidity: Maintain a stable room temperature and humidity level to prevent warping or cracking of the wood.
