Hello,

When I close the drawer on my cabinet, the whole thing shakes. It
also seems that the cabinet is leaning forward as it's no longer
flush with the wall.

The cabinet sits between the stove and the fridge. It's just wide
enough for a coffee maker and toaster.

I emptied the cabinet and I can see two screws (Robinston). I pushed
the cabinet so it was flush with the wall and tried to tighten the
screws. The screws wouldn't tighten?!?

Is there some trick at tightening the cabinet? I tried to google for
it but I just seem to find articles about loose cabinet hinges - none
talk about loose cabinets.

Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

What exactly do you mean "The screws wouldn't tighten"? Do you mean
they turn but don't secure the cabinet any better, they don't turn at all,
the turn and the screws tighten buy it did not help?

I would guess you could run a new screw or two into a stud back there.

However I would wonder about the bottom. The cabinet should have been
shimmed so it does not rock even if the floor is not level. It should not
need screws in the back it should be resting solid on the floor. You may
want to consider the bottom of it. You may need to remove and reset it.
