FAQs
What are the exact dimensions of the Malmo Storage Ottoman Chest?
The external dimensions are 99 cm (length) x 39 cm (width) x 45 cm (height). The internal storage dimensions will be slightly smaller due to the thickness of the MDF panels.
Is this ottoman suitable for sitting on?
While the chest is robust, it is primarily designed for storage. Occasional light sitting may be acceptable, but it is not intended as a primary seating solution. Prolonged or heavy sitting is not recommended.
How do I clean the Sonoma Oak Effect finish?
To clean the finish, simply wipe it with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners, harsh chemicals, or polishes, as these can damage the surface.
Can this chest be used in a child's bedroom or playroom?
Yes, it is suitable for use in a child's bedroom or playroom, particularly as a toy chest. It features a safety catch on the lid for added security, preventing it from slamming shut.
What material is the ottoman made from?
The Home Source Malmo Storage Ottoman Chest is crafted from robust and hard-wearing MDF (Medium-Density Fibreboard) board, supported by sturdy plastic feet for stability.
Is assembly difficult, and what tools are needed?
The chest arrives flat-packed with clear, step-by-step instructions, and most users find assembly straightforward. Basic tools typically required include a Phillips head screwdriver and potentially a hammer for dowels.
Troubleshooting
Missing or damaged parts upon delivery
Carefully check all contents against the parts list in the instruction manual. If any components are missing or damaged, contact customer support immediately with your purchase details and a description of the issue for replacement parts.
Lid does not close properly or feels misaligned
First, ensure that the hinges are correctly installed and aligned according to the instructions. Check that all screws securing the hinges and the safety catch are fully tightened. A slight adjustment of the hinge screws can often resolve minor alignment issues.
Chest feels wobbly or unstable after assembly
Verify that all cam locks, screws, and dowels throughout the entire unit are fully engaged and tightened. Ensure the plastic feet are securely attached to the base and are making even contact with the floor. If the floor is uneven, consider using felt pads under the feet to level the unit.
