Troubleshooting
Bench feels wobbly after assembly.
Carefully re-check all connections and fasteners. Ensure every screw and bolt is tightened securely according to the assembly instructions. Sometimes, a slight adjustment to the leveling can also help if your floor is uneven.
Shoes don't fit well in the cabinet compartments.
Utilize the adjustable shelving feature. The internal shelves can be positioned flat for larger shoes or items, or at an angle to better accommodate smaller footwear and maximize vertical space. Try different configurations to find what works best for your shoe collection.
Scratches appearing on the floor where the bench sits.
This often occurs on un-carpeted surfaces. Apply rubber or felt protection pads to the bottom of the bench's legs. These pads create a soft barrier between the furniture and your floor, preventing damage.
