- Drawer Not Sliding Smoothly: Check that the drawer slides are correctly installed and free of obstructions. Ensure all screws on the slides are tightened.
- Fiberglass Residue: If fiberglass is present, wear protective gloves and a mask. Carefully wipe down all surfaces with a damp cloth before and during assembly. Dispose of the cloth safely.
