Troubleshooting
Pieces do not seem to click together firmly
Ensure you are using the correct piece from the instructions; check that the connection points are clear of any manufacturing debris or stray bits.
Missing a part or section seems incomplete
Double-check your parts inventory against the packing list in the manual and ensure no small pieces have fallen under your workspace or into the carpet.
