Troubleshooting
Table feels wobbly after assembly.
Carefully re-examine all connection points. Ensure all screws, bolts, and cam locks are fully tightened. Sometimes, loosening and then re-tightening systematically can help align the components better. Ensure the table is on an even surface.
Drop leaves don't fold or extend smoothly.
Check the hinge mechanisms for any obstructions or misalignments. Ensure all hinge screws are tight but not overtightened. A small amount of silicone spray on the hinge pivot points can improve smoothness if resistance is present, but avoid getting it on the wood finish.
Chairs don't fit perfectly under the folded table.
Verify that the chairs have been assembled correctly according to the instructions. Ensure the table is fully folded and the chairs are oriented as intended for storage. Minor adjustments to chair leg leveling might be needed if the floor is uneven.
Surface appears dull or has minor scratches.
For the distressed waxed pine surfaces, a high-quality furniture wax suitable for pine can restore luster and help buff out superficial scratches. For painted areas, touch-up paint (if provided or matched) can be used for minor chips, or a clear furniture polish for dullness.
