FAQs

What are the dimensions of the Bomporto 5 Drawer Chest?

Please refer to the product specifications or diagrams for exact dimensions, as these can vary slightly.

How much weight can the top surface support?

The top has a 3cm thick solid wood frame, making it very sturdy. Specific weight limits are not provided, but it is designed to hold typical decorative items like mirrors, lamps, or photos.

Is the grey finish a solid color or distressed?

The finish is a hand-applied water-based lacquer, which gives it a country look. Slight variations in color and texture are characteristic of a hand-finished product.

Can I paint or refinish the chest?

While possible, repainting or refinishing may void any warranty and alter the intended aesthetic. If you choose to do so, use appropriate primers and paints suitable for wood and veneers, and test on an inconspicuous area first.

What type of wood is used?

The chest is made using a combination of solid pine wood and veneers.

How do I clean the brass handles?

Brass handles can be cleaned with a soft, dry cloth. For a deeper clean, use a dedicated brass cleaner following the product's instructions, and ensure to wipe dry thoroughly.

Does the chest come fully assembled?

No, the Bomporto 5 Drawer Chest is designed for simple home assembly. Instructions and necessary hardware are included.

Troubleshooting

Drawer slides are stiff or sticky

Check for any obstructions in the drawer runners. Ensure the chest is on a level surface. Lightly wax the drawer runners with a silicone-based lubricant if necessary.
