Troubleshooting
Drawers are stiff or not closing smoothly.
Check that the drawer runners are correctly installed and aligned on both the drawer and the chest frame. Ensure all screws holding the runners are tight. A small amount of silicone lubricant applied to the runners can also improve glide.
The chest wobbles or feels unstable.
Verify that the chest is on a level surface. Check and tighten all assembly screws throughout the frame. If the floor is uneven, consider using furniture glides or small shims under the feet to stabilize it.
Minor scratches or blemishes on the surface.
For light scratches, a furniture repair pen or wax crayon matching the cream color can be used. For deeper damage, consult a professional furniture repair service.
One or more handles are loose.
Tighten the screws that attach the brushed steel handle to the drawer front from the inside of the drawer. Be careful not to overtighten, which could strip the wood.
