Troubleshooting
Screen appears unstable
Ensure the screen is placed on a level surface and that its feet are properly aligned. If it came with additional support pieces, ensure they are correctly attached.
Finish is tarnishing or discolored
Clean the screen gently with a soft cloth and a mild soap solution. Dry thoroughly. Avoid harsh chemicals or prolonged exposure to moisture. Some natural aging of the antiqued finish is normal over time.
