FAQs
Is assembly difficult?
Assembly is generally straightforward with basic household tools (Phillips head screwdriver). The product comes with detailed instructions. It is highly recommended to have a second person assist during certain steps for easier and safer assembly.
How do I clean the high gloss finish?
For routine cleaning, use a soft, damp cloth. For smudges or fingerprints, a small amount of mild, non-abrasive glass cleaner can be applied to the cloth (not directly to the furniture). Wipe dry immediately with a clean, soft cloth to maintain the shine.
What materials is the chest of drawers made from?
The chest features high gloss grey-finished drawers with a contrasting matt frame, both constructed from high-quality engineered wood products, coated with a durable and scratch-resistant melamine finish.
What are the internal dimensions of the drawers?
Each drawer has an internal depth of 10cm. The other internal dimensions will be slightly less than the overall width (114cm) and depth (40cm) of the unit, accounting for the frame and drawer runner mechanisms. Specific internal width and length: > Info needed: [refer to manufacturer's detailed specification sheet].
Does it come with an anti-tip kit?
For safety, it is highly recommended that all tall furniture be secured to a wall. Most manufacturers include an anti-tip kit with this type of furniture. Please check the contents of your packaging and follow the safety instructions provided.
Can I paint or modify the finish?
Modifying the original finish, especially the high gloss and melamine coating, is not recommended as it can compromise the durability and aesthetic, potentially voiding any warranty. The surfaces are designed for easy cleaning and are not typically suitable for painting over without extensive preparation.
Troubleshooting
Drawers are sticking or not sliding smoothly.
First, ensure the chest is on a level surface. Check that all drawer runners are correctly installed and aligned. Verify that all screws holding the runners are tight. Apply a small amount of silicone-based furniture lubricant or wax to the drawer runners for smoother operation. Ensure drawers are not overloaded.
The chest of drawers wobbles or feels unstable.
Confirm that the chest is placed on a flat, level floor. Re-tighten all assembly screws and cam locks, paying close attention to the connections between the frame and the top/bottom panels. Ensure all dowels are fully inserted. If provided, make sure the anti-tip kit is securely installed and anchored to the wall as per instructions.
Surface appears scratched despite being scratch-resistant.
While the melamine coating is scratch-resistant, it is not scratch-proof. Minor surface marks might occur from abrasive contact. For light marks, try a furniture polish designed for high-gloss surfaces. For deeper scratches, professional repair or touch-up might be necessary. Always use soft cloths for cleaning and avoid dragging items across the surface.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup

- Follow Instructions: Adhere strictly to the step-by-step assembly guide provided by the manufacturer. Pay close attention to orientation of pieces.
- Two-Person Assembly Recommended: For stability and ease, especially when lifting or attaching larger sections, having a second person can be very helpful.
- Secure Fasteners: Ensure all screws, cam locks, and dowels are fully tightened for stability and safety.
- Anti-Tip Kit: If an anti-tip kit is included, it is crucial to install it immediately and securely fasten the chest to a wall to prevent accidental tipping.
Compatibility

Care
- Cleaning: For regular cleaning, wipe surfaces with a soft, slightly damp cloth. For tougher marks, use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner. Avoid harsh chemicals, abrasive pads, or solvents as these can damage the finish.
- Scratch Prevention: While scratch-resistant, avoid dragging sharp or heavy objects across the surface. Use coasters or felt pads under items placed on top.
- Spills: Wipe up spills immediately to prevent water damage or staining, especially on the high gloss surfaces.
- Avoid Direct Sunlight: Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can fade finishes over time. Position the chest away from strong, direct light if possible.
