1. Safety Information

Please read and understand all instructions before assembly and use. Keep this manual for future reference.

• Anti-Tipping Straps: Secure the desk firmly against the wall using the provided anti-tipping straps to prevent accidental tipping. This is crucial for safety, especially in households with children or pets.

5. Maintenance

Proper care will extend the life and appearance of your desk.

• Cleaning: Wipe the high-gloss surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that can damage the finish.

• Protection: Use coasters for drinks and desk pads for heavy items or writing to protect the tabletop from scratches and heat.

6. Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your desk, refer to the following common solutions:

• Desk is Wobbly: Check if all screws are tightened. Adjust the foot pads on the bottom of the steel legs to level the desk on uneven floors. Ensure anti-tipping straps are securely installed.
• Drawers Not Sliding Smoothly: Verify that the drawer slides are correctly installed and aligned. Ensure no obstructions are present in the drawer tracks.
• Scratches on Surface: The high-gloss finish is scratch-resistant but not scratch-proof. For minor scratches, specialized repair kits for high-gloss furniture may be used. For deeper scratches, contact customer support.
