6. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your desk, refer to the following common solutions:

| Parts do not fit together during assembly. | Incorrect orientation of parts or missing steps. | Review the assembly instructions carefully, ensuring each part is oriented correctly before fastening. Do not force parts. |
| Desk feels wobbly or unstable. | Loose fasteners or uneven floor. | Ensure all screws and bolts are fully tightened. If the floor is uneven, use furniture pads or shims under the desk feet to stabilize. Confirm the anti-tip device is installed. |
| Power hub is not providing power. | Power cord not fully plugged in or wall outlet issue. | Check that the power hub's cord is securely plugged into a functioning wall outlet. Test the wall outlet with another device. |
