8. Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your desk, please refer to the following common solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Desk is wobbly or unstable. | Loose screws or uneven floor. | Ensure all assembly screws are tightened. Adjust the foot pads on the metal legs to level the desk on an uneven surface. |
| Drawers do not slide smoothly. | Drawer glides misaligned or obstructed. | Check that the drawer glides are properly installed and aligned on both the drawer and the cabinet. Remove any obstructions. |
| Damage during assembly (e.g., dowels pushing through). | Excessive force applied to dowels. | This can occur if dowels are inserted with too much force or if holes are not deep enough. Always apply gentle, even pressure. If damage occurs, contact customer support for replacement parts if within warranty. |
