Care and Maintenance
For everyday cleaning, chrome, brass, aluminum, and painted metal surfaces can be kept looking their best

water spots.
Do not use any harsh abrasives or chemicals to clean any metal surfaces as it may damage the protective

or wears away over time.
In the event that your furniture is stained or otherwise damaged during use, we recommend that you call a
professional to repair your furniture.
Check bolts/screws periodically and tighten them if necessary.
