required. Please contact your local hardware store for assistance. Young children can be seriously
injured by tipping furniture. You must install the Tipping Restraint Hardware with the unit to
prevent the unit from tipping, causing any accidents or damage. The tipping restraints are intended
only as a deterrent, they are not a substitute for proper adult supervision. The tipping restraints are
not earthquake restraints. If you wish to add the extra security of earthquake restraints, they must be
purchased and installed separately.

Care and Maintenance
 Use a soft, clean cloth that will not scratch the surface when dusting.
 Use of furniture polish is not necessary. Should you choose to use polish, test first in an inconspicuous area.
 Using solvents of any kind on your furniture may damage the finish.
 Never use water to clean your furniture as it may cause damage to the finish.
 Always use coasters under beverage glasses and flowerpots.
 Liquid spills should be removed immediately. Using a soft, clean cloth, blot the spill gently. Avoid rubbing.
 Always use protective pads under hot dishes and plates. Heat can cause chemical changes that may create
spotting within the furniture finish.
 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.
Further Advice about Furniture Care
It is best to keep your furniture in a climate-controlled environment. Extreme temperature and humidity
changes can cause fading, warping, shrinking and splitting of wood. It is advised to keep furniture away from
direct sunlight as sun may damage the finish.
Proper care and cleaning at home will extend the life of your purchase. Follow these important and helpful tips
that will enhance your furniture as it ages.
A touch-up pen has been provided to minimize the small nicks or scratches that may occur during
assembly or shipping.
We hope you enjoy your purchase for many years.
