7.2. General Care
- Periodically check all screws and connections to ensure they remain tight. Retighten if necessary.
- Ensure the anti-tipping device remains securely anchored to the wall.

- Do not overload the drawers or the top surface beyond reasonable capacity.
8. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |

| Drawers do not close properly. | Shoes are too large or improperly placed; drawer mechanism is misaligned. | Adjust or remove shoes. Check assembly of drawer mechanism and ensure it is correctly installed. |
| Cabinet feels unstable or wobbly. | Not properly leveled; anti-tipping device not installed or loose; loose hardware. | Ensure cabinet is on a flat surface. Install or re-secure the anti-tipping device to the wall. Tighten all assembly hardware. |
