Troubleshooting
Bookcase wobbles or is unstable
Ensure all screws are tightened securely. Check that the bookcase is placed on a level surface. Verify that the back panel (if applicable) is correctly attached.
Shelf height adjustment is difficult
Ensure no weight is on the shelf. Check that the shelf pins are correctly aligned with the pre-drilled holes. Gently wiggle the shelf while adjusting.
Surface appears scratched or damaged
Minor scratches may be difficult to repair on melamine surfaces. For deeper scratches, consider using a furniture repair marker or touch-up pen matching the colour. Avoid using abrasive cleaning tools.
