Leveling: The adjustable levelers are a key maintenance feature, allowing users to re-level the unit if it shifts or if the floor settles, preventing stress on the structure and ensuring proper door and drawer alignment.
Cleaning: The "IMPORTANT NOTE" advises using a soft cloth to prevent scratches and other damages to wood parts during unpacking and assembly, implying that a soft cloth should also be used for routine cleaning to protect the finish.
