Maintenance

To maintain the appearance and longevity of your AKORD chest of drawers, follow these simple care instructions:

Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your chest of drawers, refer to the following common solutions:

• Drawers not sliding smoothly: Check that the drawer runners are clean and free of debris. Ensure all screws on the runners and drawer sides are tight. A small amount of silicone lubricant can be applied to the runners if needed.
• Chest is wobbly: Verify that the chest is placed on a level surface. Check all assembly screws and re-tighten if loose. Ensure the anti-tip device is securely installed.
• Gaps between drawers: This may indicate uneven assembly. Review the assembly instructions to ensure all panels are correctly aligned and secured.
