Maintenance
- Cleaning: Wipe the desk surfaces with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, which can damage the finish.
- Hardware Check: Periodically inspect all screws and connections to ensure they remain tight. Re-tighten as needed to maintain stability.

- Drawer Slides: If drawers become stiff, a small amount of silicone-based lubricant can be applied to the slides.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your desk, refer to the following common solutions:
- Desk Instability: Ensure all assembly hardware is fully tightened. Check that the desk is placed on a level surface.
- Drawers Not Sliding Smoothly: Verify that drawer slides are correctly installed and free of obstructions. Check for any loose hardware on the slides or drawer boxes.
- Lift Mechanism Issues: If the lift mechanism is difficult to raise or lower, ensure no objects are obstructing its movement. Do not force the mechanism. If issues persist, contact customer support.
- Charging Station Not Working: Confirm the desk's power cord is securely plugged into a functional wall outlet. Check that devices are properly connected to the charging ports.
