How do I clean the wooden worktop?

Troubleshooting

Desk or chair feels unstable

Ensure all locking mechanisms on the legs are fully engaged. Check that the desk and chair are placed on a level surface. Inspect the frame for any damage.

Desk surface has minor scratches

For light scratches, you can try a furniture polish designed for wood. For deeper scratches, consider using a wood repair marker or consult a professional for refinishing.

Chair padding feels compressed over time

Regularly check the chair's stability. If padding issues persist, it may indicate prolonged heavy use beyond typical expectations for a folding chair. Ensure even weight distribution.

Difficulty folding/unfolding

Ensure there are no obstructions. Lightly lubricate the folding joints with a silicone-based lubricant if they feel stiff. Do not force the mechanism.
