Troubleshooting
Drawers are stiff or difficult to open/close
Ensure the drawer runners are aligned correctly and free of debris. Check that the chest is on a level surface. A light application of furniture wax on the runners might also help.
Missing or damaged parts upon delivery
Contact the retailer immediately with your order details and a description or photo of the missing/damaged part. Refer to the assembly instructions for part identification.
Chest wobbles or feels unstable
Verify that all screws and fixings are tightened securely. Ensure the chest is placed on a flat, even floor. If the floor is uneven, consider using furniture leveling shims.
