4. Maintenance

Regular maintenance will ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your drafting table.

• Cleaning: Wipe surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the finish.
• Hardware Check: Periodically inspect all screws, bolts, and connections to ensure they remain tight. Retighten if necessary, but do not overtighten.
• Moving the Table: When moving the table, lift it rather than dragging it to prevent damage to the legs or floor.
• Drawer Care: Keep the fabric drawers clean and avoid overloading them to maintain their shape and functionality.

5. Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your Garvee Adjustable Drafting Table, refer to the following common problems and solutions:

• Table feels wobbly or unstable:
  Solution: Ensure all assembly screws and bolts are fully tightened. Check that the table is placed on a flat, even surface.
• Tabletop difficult to adjust or does not lock:
  Solution: Verify that the locking mechanism is free of obstructions. Ensure you are lifting the tabletop sufficiently to disengage the lock before attempting to adjust the angle. If the mechanism is stiff, a small amount of silicone lubricant may be applied to moving parts (avoid contact with tabletop surface).
• Drawers do not slide smoothly:
  Solution: Check if the drawers are overloaded or if any items are obstructing their movement. Ensure the drawer unit is properly seated and secured to the main frame.
