6. Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your dresser, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Drawers do not slide smoothly. | Misaligned glides, debris in glides, or loose screws. | Check that drawer glides are properly aligned and securely attached to both the drawer and the frame. Clean any dust or debris from the glides. Tighten any loose screws. |
| Dresser feels wobbly or unstable. | Loose connections, uneven floor, or anti-tip kit not installed. | Ensure all assembly screws are tightened. Place the dresser on a level surface. Install the anti-tip kit as per instructions. |
| Gap between drawer front and frame. | Drawer front not properly attached or drawer box not square. | Verify that the drawer front is securely attached to the drawer box. Disassemble and reassemble the drawer if necessary, ensuring all corners are square. |
| Unpleasant odor from dresser. | New furniture smell (off-gassing). | Ventilate the room by opening windows and doors. The smell should dissipate over time. You can also place odor absorbers inside drawers. |
