6. Troubleshooting

This section addresses common issues you might encounter with your Sakugi storage shelves.

Issue: The shelf unit is wobbly or unstable.

• Solution 1: Check and adjust the leveling feet. Turn them clockwise or counter-clockwise until all four feet are firmly on the ground and the unit is stable.
• Solution 2: Ensure all connecting screws are fully tightened. Loose connections can lead to instability.
• Solution 3: Verify that the wall anchor kit is properly installed and secured to both the unit and the wall.

Issue: Shelf appears to be bending under load.

• Solution 1: Check the weight on the shelf. Ensure it does not exceed the 100 lbs (45 kg) per shelf capacity.
• Solution 2: Redistribute the weight evenly across the shelf. Concentrated weight in one area can cause bending.
• Solution 3: Ensure the shelf is correctly installed and fully seated on its support rods.
