Maintenance

  • Cleaning: Wipe the surface with a soft, lint-free cloth. For stubborn marks, use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner diluted with water. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could damage the finish.
  • Spills: Immediately wipe up any spills to prevent staining or damage to the wood finish.
  • Sunlight: Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, which can cause fading or discoloration.
  • Heat and Moisture: Keep the cabinet away from direct heat sources and areas of high humidity. Use coasters under hot or wet items.
  • Hardware Check: Periodically check all screws and fasteners to ensure they remain tight. Retighten if necessary.
