Troubleshooting

Product arrives with minor scuffs or imperfections.

Minor surface marks can sometimes occur during manufacturing or shipping. These are often superficial. For minor scuffs on colored versions, try gently buffing with a soft, dry microfiber cloth. For transparent versions, a gentle polish might be considered if the scuff is deep, but always test in an inconspicuous area first.

Product feels less stable than expected.

Ensure the rack is placed on a level surface. The one-piece design is inherently stable, but an uneven floor can create a wobble. Check that all four base points are in contact with the ground.

Color appears different from online images.

Monitor calibration and lighting conditions can affect color representation. Refer to the official Kartell color names for the most accurate description. If significantly different, consider it might be a batch variation or check if you received the correct color variant.
