Troubleshooting
Bookcase is wobbly after assembly
Ensure all screws and fasteners are fully tightened. Check that the unit is placed on a level surface. If necessary, use shims under the base to stabilize it. Consider using a wall anchor for added stability.
Parts missing or damaged
Contact the retailer or manufacturer's customer service immediately with your model number (8680812108242) and a description of the missing or damaged parts.
Difficulty aligning panels during assembly
Review the assembly instructions carefully, paying attention to the orientation of each panel. Ensure you are using the correct hardware for each step. Sometimes, loosening screws slightly on adjacent panels can help with alignment before re-tightening.
Melamine finish shows scratches
For light scratches, touch-up pens or furniture repair kits might help. Avoid using abrasive cleaning pads. Future prevention includes careful handling of items placed on shelves and using coasters or placemats for items.

Assembly of the Decortie Karmato Bookcase requires basic tools and adherence to the provided instructions. Typically, this involves connecting the various engineered wood panels using the included hardware. Ensure all parts are present before starting.
