Troubleshooting
Shelf wobbles when free-standing
Ensure the shelf is placed on a completely flat and stable surface. Check if the base is uneven and adjust its position.
Wall mounting feels insecure
Verify that appropriate wall anchors and screws for your wall type (e.g., drywall, plaster, wood) are being used. Ensure they are installed correctly and securely into the wall structure.
Difficulty cleaning intricate areas
Use a small brush (like a soft toothbrush or makeup brush) to gently clean dust from corners and edges, followed by a damp cloth.
Finish appears dull or scratched
Light scratches can sometimes be minimized with a furniture polish designed for matte finishes. For deeper damage, professional repair or repainting may be necessary.
