7. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Shoes do not fit or drawers won't close. | Shoes are too large (e.g., men's sizes above 42-44 EU, or high-top shoes/boots). Dividers are set too high or not removed for taller items. | Adjust the internal dividers to the lower setting or remove them entirely for taller footwear. Ensure shoes are placed flat and not overlapping excessively. This cabinet is best suited for shoes up to approximately EU size 42-44. |
| Cabinet is unstable or wobbles. | Not properly secured to the wall. Placed on an uneven surface. Hardware is loose. | Ensure the anti-tipping device is correctly installed and secured to a sturdy wall. Place the cabinet on a level surface. Check and tighten all assembly hardware. |
| Drawers do not tilt smoothly. | Obstruction in the mechanism. Overloaded drawer. Loose hardware. | Check for any objects obstructing the tilting mechanism. Reduce the number of shoes if the drawer is overloaded. Verify that the tilting mechanism hardware is securely fastened. |
