Tips & safety
- Always fix the wardrobe to the wall. Children have died from furniture tip-over. The screws and plugs supplied suit most solid and hollow walls; in solid wood use the screws without plugs. If unsure, seek professional advice. Never put a TV on it.
- Doors not lined up? Turn the screws on the hinges with a screwdriver to move a door up/down, sideways or in/out (see the last page of the manual).
