Is an anti-tip kit included?
Yes, an anti-tip kit is included with the chest. For safety, it is strongly recommended that you secure the chest to a wall to prevent accidental tipping.
How do I clean the surface?

What is the weight capacity per drawer?

Can I use this chest in a bathroom?
While the foiled finish offers some protection, this chest is primarily designed for dry indoor environments like bedrooms. High humidity areas like bathrooms are not recommended as they can potentially damage the material over time.
Are replacement parts available?
Info needed: [Policy on replacement parts]. For specific queries, it's best to contact the manufacturer or retailer directly with your product details.
Troubleshooting
Drawers do not slide smoothly or get stuck.
Ensure all drawer runners are correctly aligned and securely fastened. Check for any obstructions within the drawer mechanism or track. Lubricating the runners lightly with silicone spray can also help, but avoid oil-based lubricants. Verify that the chest itself is level on the floor.
The assembled chest wobbles or feels unstable.
Double-check that all screws and cam locks are fully tightened according to the assembly instructions. Ensure the chest is placed on a flat, level surface. Utilize the included anti-tip kit to securely anchor the chest to a wall, which significantly improves stability.
Missing or damaged parts upon opening the box.
Carefully review the parts list provided in the instruction manual. If any parts are missing or damaged, do not proceed with assembly. Contact customer support immediately with the product model number and the specific part numbers required for replacement.
Gap between drawer front and chest frame.
This can often be adjusted by slightly loosening the screws that attach the drawer front to the drawer box, adjusting the front to be flush, and then re-tightening. Ensure the drawer runners are fully inserted and correctly seated.

Check all fittings periodically and tighten if necessary.
