FAQs
Are door handles included with the cabinet?
No, door handles, plinths, panels, and other accessories are sold separately. You will need to purchase these items to complete the cabinet.
Can I change the direction the doors open after assembly?
Yes, the doors are reversible and can be hinged on either the left or right side to suit your kitchen layout.
What is the material of the cabinet?
The cabinet is constructed from robust 18mm MFC (Melamine Faced Chipboard) with an 8mm back panel.
How much clearance is there at the back of the cabinet?
There is a 49mm rear service void, which provides space for concealing pipes and cables.
What tools are needed for assembly?
You will typically need a screwdriver (for cam locks and hinges), a hammer (for tapping dowels), and wood glue (not included).
How do I adjust the height of the cabinet?
The cabinet features 150mm adjustable legs that can be screwed in or out to level the cabinet on uneven floors.
Is this cabinet suitable for a bathroom?
This cabinet is designed for kitchen use. While it may be used in a bathroom, ensure it is protected from excessive moisture, as MFC is not waterproof.
Troubleshooting

Check hinge alignment and adjust the hinge screws for finer positioning. Ensure the cabinet is level.
Soft-close mechanism not working.
Verify the hinge is correctly installed and fully engaged. Ensure there are no obstructions preventing the door from closing fully.
