Troubleshooting
Unit wobbles after assembly.
First, ensure all screws in the steel frame are fully tightened. If the wobbling persists, use the height-adjustable plastic feet at the bottom of the unit. Twist them until all feet make firm contact with the floor, leveling the unit.
Drawers are sagging or don't hold shape well.
Ensure that the firm extra board base provided for each drawer has been correctly inserted into the bottom of the fabric drawer. This board provides the necessary rigidity and support. Also, avoid overloading the drawers with excessively heavy items.
Drawers are difficult to slide in or out, or they get stuck.
Check for any obstructions on the shelves or within the drawer itself. Ensure the drawer's board base is flat and not bent. Verify that the drawer is aligned correctly with its designated shelf and not inserted at an angle. Make sure the backstop mechanism is clear of debris.
