Troubleshooting

Nutcracker appears unstable when standing

Ensure the surface it is placed on is flat and even. Check if the base has any imperfections; minor adjustments might be needed, or consider a small adhesive base for added stability.

Paint chipping or minor damage upon arrival

For minor chips, a small amount of matching craft paint can be used for touch-ups. If significant damage has occurred, contact the retailer for a replacement.

Color fading over time

Ensure the nutcracker is not placed in direct sunlight or near heat sources, as these can accelerate color fading.
