6. Maintenance

Proper care will extend the life and appearance of your dresser:

• Cleaning: For the wooden top and metal frame, wipe with a soft, damp cloth. For the fabric drawers, spot clean with a mild detergent and allow to air dry completely. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
• Spills: Immediately wipe any spills on the wooden top to prevent water damage, as it is water-resistant but not waterproof.
• Inspection: Periodically check all screws and connections to ensure they remain tight. Retighten if necessary.
