• Capacità di peso: Non sovraccaricare i cassetti. Distribuire il peso in modo uniforme.
• Bambini e animali domestici: Tenere bambini e animali domestici lontani dall'area di montaggio. Le parti di piccole dimensioni possono rappresentare un rischio di soffocamento.

4. Installazione e assemblaggio

Assembly is required. Follow the step-by-step instructions provided in the separate assembly guide included with your product. Key points to remember:

• Preparazione: Clear a spacious area for assembly. Lay out all parts on a soft, clean surface to prevent scratches.
• Strumenti necessari: A Phillips head screwdriver and a hammer are typically needed.
• Assemblea del team: This is a two-person assembly job. Do not attempt to lift or move the packaged product or assembled frame alone.
• T-Lock Assembly System: The drawers feature a patented T-lock assembly system for quick and easy assembly. Ensure all T-locks are fully engaged.
• Pannello posteriore: The back panel is crucial for the dresser's structural integrity and to keep it square. Do not stand or use the dresser without attaching the back panel securely.
• Orientamento del cassetto: Pay close attention to the orientation of drawer parts, especially the "Q" and "R" labeled parts, as they may appear identical but are designed for specific sides to ensure proper flush closure.
• Drawer Slide Adjustment: Drawer slides have adjustable cams. Do not fully tighten screws on the slide tracks until you can adjust the drawer fit. This allows for fine-tuning if drawers are slanted or not closing properly.

7. Risoluzione Dei Problemi

If you encounter issues with your dresser, consider the following common solutions:

• Cassetti che non si chiudono a filo:
  • Ensure the correct drawer (left/right) is in the correct slot.
  • Adjust the cam locks on the drawer slides. Loosen the screws slightly, adjust the cam, and then re-tighten.
  • Check if any screws are protruding and obstructing the drawer path.
• Dresser Feels Unstable/Wobbly:
