Troubleshooting

Window seat feels wobbly after assembly.

Ensure all leg screws are tightened securely. If wobbling persists, check that the floor surface is even. You may need to add small furniture pads to balance.

Upholstery appears flattened or marked.

Velvet pile can sometimes show pressure marks. Gently brush the pile in the direction of the nap with a soft brush or a velvet brush to restore its appearance. Light steaming can also help.

Storage lid doesn't close smoothly or properly.

Check the storage compartment for any items obstructing the lid's path. Ensure hinges are clean and properly aligned. If hinges are loose, tighten their screws.
