Tips & safety

  • Always fix TRONES to the wall. Furniture that tips over can cause serious injury. Wall screws and plugs are not included — use ones suited to your wall.
  • Using both cabinets from the pack? Stack them or hang them side by side — fix each one to the wall. Side by side, join them through the side holes with a screw max 13 mm long (manual p. 13–14).
