FAQs

What tools are required for assembly?

Typically, you will need a Phillips head screwdriver and possibly a hammer. All necessary hardware, such as screws and cam locks, are included in the packaging.

How long does assembly usually take?

Assembly time can vary depending on individual experience, but on average, it takes approximately 1.5 to 2.5 hours for one person. Having a second person can significantly reduce this time.

What is the weight capacity per drawer?

Info needed: The product description does not specify an exact weight capacity. However, the drawers are designed for standard clothing and personal items, and each includes a bottom support bar to prevent bowing. Avoid storing excessively heavy items like stacks of books or dumbbells.

Can I use this chest of drawers in a child's room?

While it can be used in a child's room, it is crucial to follow all anti-tipping guidelines. Furniture tip-over restraints are often included or can be purchased separately. Always secure tall furniture to a wall, especially in areas accessible to children.

Are replacement parts available if something breaks or goes missing?

Info needed: It is recommended to contact FWStyle customer service directly with your proof of purchase and specific part number (from the assembly manual) to inquire about replacement parts.

Does the chest need to be secured to a wall?

Although not explicitly stated in the product description, it is generally recommended to secure tall furniture items, like this 100cm high chest, to a wall using an anti-tip kit. This is especially important for safety, particularly in households with children or pets.

Troubleshooting

Drawers are not closing smoothly or getting stuck.

Ensure the metal runners on both the drawer and the chest are correctly aligned and installed. Check for any obstructions within the runners or items inside the drawer that might be blocking its path. Verify that all screws securing the runners are tightened properly. A small amount of silicone-based lubricant can sometimes improve glide.

The chest feels wobbly or unstable after assembly.

Double-check that all cam locks and screws connecting the panels are fully tightened. Ensure the chest is placed on a flat, level surface. If your floor is uneven, use furniture pads or shims under the legs to stabilize it. Re-verify that the back panel is securely attached, as this often contributes to overall stability.

Gaps appear between drawer fronts and the chest frame.

This often indicates that the drawer fronts or runners were not perfectly aligned during assembly. Review the instructions for attaching the drawer fronts and ensure they are seated squarely on the drawer box. Adjusting the screws that attach the drawer front to the drawer box can often help align it correctly.

Visible scratches on the high gloss drawer fronts.

For light surface scratches, specialized high gloss furniture polish or scratch repair kits for high gloss finishes may help, but always test on an inconspicuous area first. To prevent future scratches, always use a soft cloth for cleaning and avoid placing sharp or abrasive objects on the surface.

Drawer bottom appears to sag or bow.

The Chilton drawers feature a bottom support bar to prevent bowing. Ensure this support bar was installed correctly according to the assembly instructions. Avoid overloading drawers beyond a reasonable weight capacity; distribute contents evenly. If sagging persists despite proper installation, contact customer support.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

The Chilton 5 Drawer Chest is delivered flat-packed in two boxes for home assembly. All necessary hardware and instructions are included. It is recommended to assemble the unit in the room where it will be used. A Phillips head screwdriver and a hammer may be required. Follow the step-by-step instructions carefully to ensure correct and secure assembly. Having a second person available can make assembly easier.

Compatibility

This chest of drawers is designed to complement modern bedroom decor with its contemporary grey high gloss and matt grey finish. Its versatile design allows it to pair easily with a wide variety of existing bedroom furniture pieces, from minimalist to more ornate styles. The neutral grey tones ensure it blends well with different colour schemes, making it a flexible addition to your home.

Care

  • Cleaning the Frame: The matt grey frame features an easy-clean and scratch-resistant melamine coating. For general cleaning, simply wipe with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as these can damage the finish.
  • Cleaning High Gloss Drawer Fronts: For the grey high gloss drawer fronts, use a soft, non-abrasive cloth (such as a microfiber cloth) to gently wipe away dust or smudges. For more stubborn marks, a slightly damp cloth followed by a dry polish with a clean microfiber cloth is recommended. Avoid harsh chemicals or furniture polish containing silicone, which can leave residues or streaks.
  • General Maintenance: Periodically check all screws and fittings to ensure they remain tight, especially after the first few weeks of use. This helps maintain the stability and integrity of the chest. Avoid placing excessively hot or cold items directly on the surface without protective coasters.
