- Re-insert by aligning the runner and pushing firmly until it clicks into place.
- Some models feature a stop mechanism to prevent the drawer from being pulled all the way out accidentally.
Note: Do not overload drawers beyond the specified weight limit to ensure longevity and smooth operation.
Care & Maintenance
To keep your chest looking new.
- Cleaning: Wipe with a damp cloth and a mild detergent. Dry immediately with a clean, soft cloth.
- Avoid: Abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, solvents, or ammonia-based products.
- Protection: Use coasters under drinks and avoid placing hot items directly on the surface.
- Environment: Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, high humidity, or heat sources.
CAUTION! Never soak the furniture or allow liquid to pool on surfaces or enter seams.
Wall Attachment
THIS STEP IS MANDATORY FOR SAFETY.
- Decide on the final placement of the chest against the wall.
- Locate the wall stud(s) using a stud finder. The chest must be anchored into solid wood or masonry.
- Attach the provided wall bracket(s) to the back of the chest in the indicated, pre-drilled locations.
- Position the chest against the wall. Mark the screw holes for the bracket on the wall through the bracket.
- Move the chest aside. Drill pilot holes into the wall stud(s) at the marked locations.
- Place the chest back in position. Secure the bracket to the wall using the provided screws and wall plugs (if needed for drywall/masonry). Ensure it is tight and secure.
- Gently test the stability of the chest.
