FAQs
1. Can the bookcase be assembled by one person?
It is strongly recommended to have two adults for assembly. One person may struggle to hold panels upright while attaching, which can cause misalignment or damage.
2. How can I prevent scratches on the floor?
Attach felt pads under the base or place the bookcase on a rug. This prevents marks and helps the unit stay stable when moved slightly.
3. What if the magnetic catch no longer holds the door?
Check if the metal plate is aligned with the catch. Adjust or retighten screws, and if the magnet has weakened, replace it with a similar size catch.
4. Can I take the bookcase apart for moving?
Yes, it can be disassembled by reversing the steps. Keep hardware in labeled bags and reassemble carefully to avoid stripped screws or damage.
5. How do I clean stubborn marks on the finish?
Wipe gently with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Do not use abrasive pads or harsh chemicals, as they may scratch or fade the laminated surface.
