Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your vanity, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Drawers do not slide smoothly | Improperly installed drawer slides or debris in tracks. | Check that drawer slides are correctly aligned and securely fastened. Clean tracks of any dust or obstructions. |
| Cabinet door does not close properly or is misaligned | Hinges are loose or require adjustment. | Tighten hinge screws. Adjust the hinge screws to align the door. Refer to the assembly manual for hinge adjustment details. |
