Troubleshooting
View all →Common Failure Modes
Drawers falling off tracks or bottoms sagging are the most common issues. Fasteners in engineered wood can pull out over time.
Maintenance
View all →Condition wood and check joints
Apply wood conditioner annually to prevent drying and cracking. Check for loose joints at the sides and back panel. Re-glue and clamp any separating joints before they worsen.
Lubricate drawer slides
Apply paraffin wax or dry silicone spray to drawer runners every 6 months. Sticky drawers stress joints and can crack the face frame. For wooden slides, rub with a candle or bar of soap.
Lubricate Drawer Slides
Drawers can stick or squeak over time. Lubrication ensures smooth gliding and prevents track damage.
Verify anti-tip anchor
Check that the wall anchor strap is securely fastened quarterly, especially if children are present. Dressers are the leading cause of furniture tip-over injuries. Replace anchors after any wall repair.
