Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your cabinet, refer to the following common solutions:
- Wobbling Cabinet: Ensure the cabinet is on a flat, even surface. Adjust the leveling feet on the bottom of the legs until the cabinet is stable. Check all assembly screws to ensure they are tightened.
- Misaligned Doors: The door hinges are adjustable. Use a screwdriver to make small adjustments to the hinge screws to align the doors properly. Refer to the assembly instructions for detailed hinge adjustment steps.
- Stiff Doors/Drawers: Check for any obstructions. Apply a small amount of furniture wax or silicone spray to the hinge mechanisms if they are stiff.
