To maintain the appearance and functionality of your shoe rack, follow these simple care instructions:

- Dusting: Regularly dust the shelves and panels to prevent buildup.
- Inspection: Periodically check all screws and connections to ensure they remain tight. Retighten if necessary.
- Placement: Avoid placing the shoe rack in direct sunlight or near heat sources, which can cause material degradation over time.
7. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Rack is wobbly or unstable. | Screws are not fully tightened; uneven surface. | Ensure all screws are securely tightened. Move the rack to a flat, level surface. |
| Difficulty expanding or contracting the rack. | Obstruction in the sliding mechanism; dust or debris. | Check for any obstructions. Clean the sliding tracks with a dry cloth. Apply a small amount of silicone spray if needed (avoid oil-based lubricants). |
| Shoes slide off the shelves. | Rack is not level; shoes are not placed correctly on the pegboard. | Ensure the rack is on a level surface. For high heels, ensure the heel is seated within the pegboard holes. |
