Proper maintenance will extend the life and appearance of your CD cabinet.

• Inspection: Periodically check all screws and fasteners to ensure they remain tight. Re-tighten if necessary.
• Placement: Avoid placing the cabinet in direct sunlight or near heat sources, which can cause material degradation or discoloration.

7. Troubleshooting

This section addresses common issues you might encounter.

Issue: Cabinet feels wobbly after assembly.

Solution: Ensure all screws are fully tightened. Verify that the cabinet is placed on a level surface. If necessary, use shims under the base to stabilize it. Consider wall mounting for enhanced stability.

Issue: Difficulty fitting the top section onto the bottom section during assembly.

Solution: As noted by some users, aligning the upper and lower parts can be challenging. It may be easier to assemble the unit vertically rather than horizontally, or to have a second person assist in aligning the parts. Ensure all connecting dowels and holes are perfectly aligned before applying pressure.

Issue: Missing parts or damaged components.

Solution: Contact tectake customer support with your purchase details and a description of the missing or damaged parts. Refer to the "Support & Warranty" section for contact information.
