Furniture Care
To effectively maintain wood surfaces, avoid using polishes or harsh cleaners. Instead, take a clean, soft cloth and lightly dampen it with water to wipe the surface. Afterward, use a separate clean, dry cloth to follow up. This simple and effective method will help keep your furniture looking beautiful.
When moving furniture, please lift the entire unit completely, as sliding it across the floor may cause damage.
Beds should be taken apart before moving to prevent damage. Never move a fully assembled bed by yourself, even if it's just across the room.
Sturdy Act
The Consumer Product Safety Commission voted on April 19, 2023, to adopt a standard for dressers and other storage furniture that will help prevent tip-overs by requiring strong and practical stability tests. As of September 1, 2023, all our case pieces will comply with the Sturdy Act 2023.
The units have an anti-tipping system that ensures furniture remains stable by allowing only one drawer to be opened at a time. It is crucial not to disable or remove this drawer interlock system, as it is essential in maintaining stability and safety.
If you need to remove a drawer or drawers from the cabinet temporarily, please ensure that you return them to their original positions and follow the specific reinstallation instructions provided.
REMOVAL
To remove one drawer, start by pulling it open as far as it will extend.
You will find two clips at the bottom of the drawer, one on each side.
Pull back on both clips simultaneously to release the drawer from the runners, directing them towards you. Once the clips are released, you can remove the drawer altogether.
Start from the top and work your way down to remove multiple drawers. Following the
instructions provided earlier, begin by removing the top drawer.
For the next drawer down, locate the anti-snapper tip at the back of the runner on the exterior side. Push this tip towards the back of the cabinet to release the drawer. You can then remove this drawer using the same steps as before. Continue this process for additional drawers on the same side of the cabinet, flipping the anti-snapper tip towards the back for each drawer you wish to remove.
REINSTALLATION
To reinstall the drawer(s), start from the bottom and work your way up. For the locking system to function correctly, the drawers must be returned to the exact order in which they were initially installed. Each drawer is labeled with a number on the exterior side of its drawer clip. To ensure that the drawers are reinstalled correctly, you will need to match this number with the corresponding number written on the inside of the dresser.
With all the drawers removed on one side of the dresser, flip the anti-snapper tip of the drawer you are installing towards the front. Ensure the runner is securely pushed back inside the dresser. Then, carefully slide the drawer back onto the runner and push it in until you hear a click, indicating that it is securely in place. Follow these steps to continue reinstalling the remaining drawers.
