WARNING! Glass is heavy and fragile. Handle with care using two people. Inspect for cracks or chips before use.

Safety Information

Important safety precautions for handling and use.

Always lift glass with two people—never attempt to carry alone.
Place glass on a clean, flat, stable surface during installation.
Keep glass away from sharp impacts or excessive pressure.
Do not place extremely hot items directly on glass (use trivets).
Keep out of reach of children to prevent tipping or breakage.

CAUTION! Tempered glass can break if struck with extreme force. If glass breaks, wear gloves to carefully collect fragments.

Assembly & Installation

Follow these steps to correctly install the glass top on your HEMNES dresser.

Prepare Surface: Ensure the dresser top is clean, dry, and free of debris.
Attach Felt Pads: Peel backing from felt pads and stick one pad near each corner of the underside of the glass. This prevents scratching and reduces slipping.
Position Glass: With assistance, carefully lower the glass onto the dresser, aligning it evenly with the edges.
Check Stability: Gently press down on each corner to ensure the glass sits flat and does not rock.

Tip: For added stability on uneven surfaces, additional felt pads can be placed in the center area.

Care & Cleaning

Proper cleaning maintains clarity and prevents damage.

Use a soft, lint-free cloth (microfiber recommended).
For light cleaning, use only water or a mild glass cleaner sprayed onto the cloth—never directly onto the glass.
Wipe gently in a circular motion to avoid streaks.
Dry immediately with a separate dry cloth.
Avoid abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or ammonia-based products.

CAUTION! Do not use excessive liquid, as it may seep under the glass and damage the furniture finish.
