Maintenance Features
- Cleaning: The manual recommends cleaning the cabinet using a non-abrasive cloth and a mild cleaner. This suggests that the surfaces are relatively easy to maintain and do not require specialized cleaning agents.
- Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Users are explicitly advised not to use harsh chemicals, as they could damage the finish or integrity of the item. This is a standard maintenance guideline for most furniture to preserve its appearance and longevity.
- Indoor Use Only: The cabinet is designated for indoor use only, indicating that it is not designed to withstand outdoor elements such as moisture or extreme temperatures, which could cause damage to the materials and finish.

This would help maintain the structural integrity of the cabinet.
