Assembly Tip: Some users have reported that diagrams for certain pieces (e.g., P & Q, and the black metal bottom corner pieces) may require careful attention to ensure screw holes align correctly. If you encounter difficulty, double-check the orientation of the pieces before securing them. Minor adjustments or pre-drilling pilot holes (if comfortable and necessary) might be required for optimal fit of decorative corner pieces.

7. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues during assembly or use, refer to the following common solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Parts do not align / Screw holes don't match | Incorrect orientation of panels (e.g., P & Q) or manufacturing variation. | Review the assembly diagrams carefully, ensuring each piece is oriented as shown. If a decorative piece's screw hole is slightly off, consider gently widening the hole or using wood glue for stability if it's a non-structural element. |
| Door handle detaches easily | Handle not securely fastened or stripped screw hole. | Ensure the handle screws are tightened properly. If the screw hole is stripped, use a larger screw or wood filler to secure it. |
| Bench feels wobbly after assembly | Loose connections or uneven placement. | Check and tighten all screws and fasteners. Ensure the bench is placed on a flat, level surface. Verify anti-slip pads are correctly installed. |
| Difficulty with assembly steps | Complex diagrams or numerous small pieces. | Take your time with each step. It is highly recommended to have a second person assist with assembly. Refer to the labeled parts and diagrams closely. |
