Troubleshooting

SYMPTOM

My wine cabinet is leaning forward, even when placed on the carpet board.

When the wine cabinet is empty, the door(s) of the wine cabinet represent a disproportionate share of the wine cabinet weight. Thus, when an empty wine cabinet is first placed on carpet, it may lean forward even though the wine cabinet is placed on a carpet board.

DO NOT over-compensate by extending the front leveling legs. Instead, load some bottles into the back of the wine cabinet until the weight is more evenly distributed. At this point, adjust the leveling legs so that the wine cabinet is properly level. The cabinet should no longer be leaning forward at this point. Additional adjustments may be required to level the wine cabinet front to back as the cabinet board compresses the carpet underneath over time.
