How do I clean the fluted surface?
Wipe the surfaces, including the fluted detailing, with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that could damage the finish.

Troubleshooting
Sideboard feels wobbly or unstable after assembly.
Ensure all cam locks and screws are tightened securely. Check that the back panel is correctly installed and fastened, as it contributes significantly to the unit's rigidity. Verify the unit is on a level surface; use furniture glides or shims if needed.
Doors are misaligned or do not close properly.
Adjust the hinges on the doors. Most furniture hinges allow for vertical, horizontal, and depth adjustments using a screwdriver. Refer to the specific hinge adjustment instructions in your assembly manual.
Surface shows minor scratches or scuffs.
For light scratches, a furniture touch-up marker in a matching black shade may help conceal the mark. For deeper damage, consult a furniture repair professional. Always use protective mats to prevent future scratches.
Missing hardware or damaged part during unboxing.
Immediately contact the manufacturer's customer service with your purchase details and the specific part number (found in the manual). Do not attempt to force assembly with incorrect or missing parts.

Care & Maintenance
Proper care will ensure the longevity and appearance of your sideboard:
- Cleaning: Wipe surfaces regularly with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners, harsh chemicals, or polishes that contain silicone.
