Tips & safety

  • Always fix the cabinet to the wall. Tip-over can cause serious or fatal crushing injuries. Keep the heaviest items in the drawers, don’t put a TV on it, and never let children climb or hang on the drawers, doors or shelves.
  • Doors or drawers not lined up? Turn the screws on the cabinet hinges to adjust the doors, and the clips under the drawers to adjust their height — see the last pages of the manual.
