• If the left door is opened 180 degrees, the cabinet needs to be 12 inches away from the wall to access items normally.

6. Maintenance

To maintain the appearance and longevity of your buffet cabinet, follow these simple guidelines:

• Cleaning: Wipe surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that may damage the finish.
• Spills: Clean up spills immediately to prevent staining or damage to the engineered wood.
• Hardware: Periodically check and tighten all screws and fasteners to ensure stability.
• Sunlight: Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight to prevent fading or discoloration.

7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your buffet cabinet, consider the following common solutions:

• Wobbly Cabinet: Ensure all assembly screws are fully tightened. Check that the cabinet is on a level surface. Adjust leg levelers if applicable.
• Doors Not Aligning: Adjust the hinges on the doors. Most hinges allow for minor adjustments to align doors properly.
• Drawer Sticking: Check that the drawer slides are properly installed and free of obstructions. Lubricate slides if necessary.
• Chemical Odor: New furniture may have a slight odor. Ensure good ventilation in the room for a few days after assembly.
