Safety Instructions

Read all instructions before assembly. Use caution to prevent injury or damage.

Assemble on a soft, clean surface to avoid scratching parts.
Keep small parts away from children to prevent choking hazard.
Use two people for assembly; some parts are heavy or awkward.
Ensure all connections are tight and secure before use.

WARNING! To prevent tip-over accidents that can result in serious or fatal injury, this furniture must be permanently fixed to the wall using the provided wall attachment device.

Assembly Instructions

Follow steps in order. Use the provided Allen key for all cam locks.

Prepare: Unpack all parts. Identify each piece using the included guide.
Connect side panels and dividers: Insert dowels (G) into pre-drilled holes on side panels (A). Align divider panels (B, C) and join using dowels.
Secure with cam locks: Insert cam locks (F) into holes on the inside of side panels. Turn clockwise with Allen key (J) until tight to lock dividers in place.
Attach back panel: Place unit face down on a soft surface. Position back panel (E) and secure with provided small nails or screws into pre-drilled holes along the rear edges.
Insert shelves: Slide shelf boards (D) into the desired compartments. They rest on the divider panels and are not fixed.
Final check: Ensure all cam locks are fully tightened and the structure is square and stable.

Tip: Do not fully tighten cam locks until all parts are aligned. A soft mallet can be used to gently tap parts into place.

Mounting to Wall (Safety)

THIS STEP IS MANDATORY. The unit can tip over if not secured, especially if drawers are used or it is climbed on.

Decide on final placement against a solid wall (stud wall recommended).
Attach the wall attachment device (I) to the top rear of the unit using the provided screws (H).
Position the unit against the wall. Mark the screw holes for the wall bracket on the wall.
Drill pilot holes into the wall at the marked points, ensuring you hit a wall stud or use appropriate wall anchors for your wall type.
Screw the bracket securely into the wall.
Check that the unit is firmly attached and cannot be pulled away from the wall.

Weight Limits & Usage

Max load per shelf: 13 kg (29 lbs). Distribute weight evenly.
Total unit capacity: Do not exceed 55 kg (121 lbs) total distributed weight.
Surface protection: Use felt pads under decorative objects to prevent scratches.
Environment: For indoor use only. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, high humidity, or heat sources.
Modifications: Do not drill additional holes or modify the structure, as this weakens integrity and voids warranty.

Care & Cleaning

Clean with a damp cloth wrung out in a mild soap solution. Wipe dry immediately.

DO NOT use abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, solvents (e.g., acetone), or furniture polish containing silicone, as they can damage the foil finish.

Troubleshooting
