2. Safety Information
To ensure safe use and prevent injury, please adhere to the following guidelines:

- Drawer Usage: Avoid opening multiple drawers simultaneously, as this can destabilize the unit. This dresser features a built-in safety mechanism that limits the number of drawers that can be opened at once.

6. Maintenance
Proper care will help maintain the appearance and longevity of your dresser:

- Spills: Immediately blot any spills with a clean, dry cloth to prevent staining or damage to the wood.
- Sunlight: Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, which can cause fading or discoloration of the wood finish.
- Humidity: Maintain a consistent humidity level in the room to prevent wood from warping or cracking.
- Hardware: Periodically check and tighten any loose hardware to ensure stability.
7. Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your dresser, consider the following common solutions:
- Drawers Not Closing Smoothly: Check if the drawer glides are properly aligned and free of obstructions. Ensure no items inside the drawer are blocking its path. Verify that all screws on the glides are tightened.
- Wobbling Dresser: Confirm the dresser is placed on a level surface. Adjust any leveling feet if present. Ensure all assembly hardware is securely tightened.
- Loose Handles: Tighten the screws securing the handles from the inside of the drawer.
- Minor Scratches/Dents: For minor cosmetic damage, wood repair kits or markers designed for furniture can be used to touch up the finish.
