Can the pans be removed?

Troubleshooting

Scales do not balance with equal perceived weight

Ensure the objects placed on each side are positioned centrally on the pans. The scales are sensitive to placement. Also, check that the central pivot point is clear of any debris.

Wooden parts feel rough or splintered

Inspect the wooden parts carefully. If any rough spots or splinters are found, gently sand them down with fine-grit sandpaper. Ensure the area is clean and smooth before allowing a child to play.
