Troubleshooting
Unit is wobbly or unstable
Ensure all parts are securely clicked into place during assembly. If assembled with feet, verify they are evenly attached and the ground surface is level.
Water pooling inside the bed
Confirm adequate drainage holes are clear. Ensure the soil mix used allows for good water percolation. If drainage is poor, consider adding a layer of coarse material at the bottom before adding soil.
Lid does not fit properly
Check for any debris on the lid or the top edge of the bed. Ensure the lid is being aligned correctly with the attachment points.
Plastic appears faded after extended outdoor use
This is a normal effect of UV exposure over time. The structural integrity of the bed should remain intact. Clean the surface to potentially restore some appearance.

Care:
