Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:

Ensure you have a clear space for assembly and basic tools (likely a screwdriver, possibly a hammer for tapping dowels). It is recommended to have a second person assist with assembly for larger components.

Care:

- Waxing: Periodically re-wax the furniture to maintain its finish and protect the wood. Use a good quality furniture wax appropriate for pine.
- Placement: Avoid placing the chest in direct sunlight or near heat sources, as this can cause the wood to fade or crack. Ensure it is placed on a level surface.
