- Sunlight Exposure: Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, which can cause fading or discoloration.
- Humidity: Maintain a stable humidity level in the room to prevent warping or cracking of the wood.

- Missing or Unlabeled Parts: Double-check the entire package and compare with the parts list in the manual. If parts are genuinely missing, contact Tvilum customer support.
- Difficulty with Assembly: Ensure all hardware is correctly identified and sorted. Refer to the BILT app for visual guidance. Sometimes, pieces may appear similar but have subtle differences in hole placement or size.
- Drawers Not Sliding Smoothly: Verify that the metal glides are installed correctly and are free from obstructions. Ensure all screws securing the glides are tightened appropriately.
