What type of finish does the housing unit have?

Troubleshooting
Unit is not level
Adjust the height of the 150mm legs until the unit is stable and level. Use a spirit level to confirm.
Doors are not closing correctly or are misaligned
Check that the soft-close hinges are correctly installed and adjusted. Ensure the unit itself is level. Fine-tune the hinge screws for alignment.
