What is the primary material of the bookcase?

Troubleshooting
Bookcase is wobbly or unstable.
Ensure all screws are fully tightened. Crucially, use the provided wall attachment device to secure the bookcase to the wall. Uneven flooring may also contribute; consider using shims if necessary.
Door does not close properly or is misaligned.
Check that the hinges are correctly installed and aligned. Adjust the hinge screws slightly to fine-tune the door's position. Ensure no items are obstructing the door's path.
Missing parts during assembly.
Double-check the packaging thoroughly. If parts are confirmed missing, contact customer support with the part number from the assembly manual.
Surface has minor scratches or scuffs.
For minor cosmetic blemishes, a wood repair pen or furniture polish matching the white color might help conceal them. Avoid abrasive cleaning methods.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The bookcase requires assembly. Follow the included instructions carefully to connect all panels and hardware. Ensure all screws are tightened securely, but avoid over-tightening, which can damage the engineered wood. Before final placement, decide on the door's opening direction (left or right) and install it accordingly.
Compatibility: This bookcase is designed as a standalone storage unit. It is compatible with most standard room environments. The primary compatibility consideration is the wall type where the wall attachment device will be secured; ensure you have appropriate anchors for your wall material (e.g., drywall, plaster, concrete).
Care: To maintain the appearance and integrity of the bookcase, clean the surface regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or excessive water, as these can damage the engineered wood finish. Wipe up spills immediately to prevent moisture absorption. Periodically check that the wall attachment device remains secure.
