6. Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your desk, refer to the following common problems and solutions.
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Desk is wobbly or unstable. | Loose fasteners; uneven surface. | Check and tighten all screws and bolts. Move the desk to a flat, level surface. |
| Height adjustment is difficult or stuck. | Locking knobs are too tight; mechanism obstructed. | Ensure locking knobs are fully loosened. Check for any obstructions in the adjustment mechanism. |
| Casters do not roll smoothly. | Debris in wheels; locking brake engaged. | Clean any debris from the caster wheels. Ensure locking brakes are disengaged. |
