Tips & safety

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