- Unstable Rack: Verify that all screws are fully tightened. Adjust the leveling feet on the bottom of the rack to compensate for uneven flooring. Ensure the anti-tip device is securely installed.
- Damaged or Missing Parts: If any parts are damaged or missing upon arrival, contact UNITSTAGE customer support for assistance.
