4.3 Steel Legs with Adjustable Pads
Attach the golden powder-coated steel legs to the base of the cabinet. Each leg includes an adjustable pad. Once the cabinet is in its desired location, adjust these pads to level the cabinet and ensure maximum stability on uneven floors.
4.4 Anti-Rollover Straps
For enhanced safety, especially in homes with children or pets, it is essential to install the anti-rollover straps. Securely attach one end to the back of the cabinet and the other to a wall stud using appropriate wall anchors. This prevents the cabinet from tipping over.

- Check the installation of the soft-close hinges. They may need minor adjustments. Refer to the detailed assembly guide for hinge adjustment instructions. Ensure no obstructions are preventing the doors from closing fully.
