FAQs
What tools are needed for assembly?
You will typically need a Phillips head screwdriver and a hammer for the back panels. A spirit level is also recommended to ensure the unit is stable.
Can the drawers be fully removed?
Yes, the easy-glide metal runners are designed to allow drawers to be removed for easier cleaning or moving the chest.
How much weight can the top surface hold?
The 2.5cm thick top is reinforced for durability, but avoid placing exceptionally heavy items like large CRT monitors or excessively heavy sculptures.
Is the finish water-resistant?
The finish is designed for standard domestic conditions, but it is not waterproof. Always wipe away water or cleaning product residue immediately.
What is the primary material?
The chest is constructed from high-quality engineered wood boards with a durable wood-effect laminate finish.
Does it come with a wall anchor kit?
For safety, it is highly recommended to secure all tall chests of drawers to the wall using a furniture tipping restraint kit, which is standard practice for this type of furniture.
Troubleshooting
Drawer feels stiff or difficult to open
Ensure the chest is placed on a perfectly level floor. Check the metal runners for any debris or obstructions and ensure the internal screws are fully tightened.
Drawer faces are misaligned
Adjust the positioning of the drawer box on the runners. If the unit is slightly slanted, use furniture shims to level the base of the chest.
Wobbling after assembly
Double-check that all cam locks and screws are tightened securely. Verify that the back panel is fully inserted into its groove, as this provides essential structural rigidity.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Assembly: While the factory-fitted runners simplify the setup, ensure you have adequate space to lay out all components before beginning. It is recommended to assemble the unit on a soft surface, such as a rug or carpet, to prevent scratching the wood-effect finish.
Compatibility: The brown wood-effect finish is highly neutral, allowing it to pair well with both light-toned contemporary furniture and darker traditional pieces.
Care Instructions:
- Regularly dust with a soft, dry microfiber cloth.
- Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive sponges that may damage the wood-effect coating.
- Spills should be wiped up immediately to prevent moisture from seeping into the particle board seams.
- Periodically check the metal handles and re-tighten if they become loose due to daily use.
