5. Maintenance

Proper care will ensure the longevity and appearance of your LITTLE TREE desk.

• Cleaning: Wipe surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that can damage the finish.
• Spills: The desktop is scratch-coated and water-resistant. Promptly wipe up any spills to prevent water damage or staining.
• Heat and Moisture: Avoid placing hot items directly on the surface. Use coasters for drinks. Maintain a stable room temperature and humidity to prevent wood warping or cracking.
• Hardware: Periodically check all screws and fasteners to ensure they remain tight. Retighten as necessary.

If you encounter issues during assembly or use, refer to the following common solutions:

• Missing Parts: If any components are missing, contact LITTLE TREE customer support immediately with your purchase details and the specific missing part number.

Slight adjustments may be needed.
• Desk is Unstable or Wobbly: Ensure all screws and fasteners are securely tightened. Adjust the leveling feet on all legs and the cabinet base until the desk is stable on your floor surface.
