Hardware Care: The instructions imply that proper assembly and secure fastening of hardware are crucial for the unit's stability and longevity. Regular checks of the hardware might be beneficial to ensure all connections remain tight.
Load Management: Adhering to the recommended maximum weight limits for each shelf is a key maintenance aspect to prevent structural damage, sagging, or collapse over time. Distributing weight evenly across shelves is also important.
Replacement Parts: The manual provides contact information for customer support (support@furinno.com) for replacement requests and product inquiries, indicating that individual parts may be available if damaged or lost. This extends the lifespan of the product by allowing for repairs rather than full replacement.
General Care: Avoiding exposure to excessive moisture or direct sunlight can help preserve the material and finish of the bookcase. The fabric bins may require separate cleaning instructions, typically spot cleaning or gentle hand washing, depending on the material.
