Thank you for choosing the SoBuy FSR155-N 3-Flap Shoe Cabinet. This manual provides essential information for the safe assembly, operation, and maintenance of your new furniture. Please read it thoroughly before beginning assembly and keep it for future reference.

This narrow shoe cabinet is designed to efficiently store shoes in various entrance areas. It features three folding compartments and high-quality PVC rattan flaps, which not only add a natural aesthetic but also help prevent mold and mildew. Its slim design makes it suitable for smaller spaces.

2. Safety Information

• Ensure all parts are present and undamaged before assembly. Do not use if any parts are missing or broken.
• Keep small parts and packaging materials away from children and pets to avoid choking hazards.
• For stability and safety, it is highly recommended to attach the shoe cabinet to the wall using the provided tilt protection hardware. Failure to do so may result in injury or damage.
• Do not overload the cabinet. Adhere to the specified load capacities for each section.
• Do not stand or climb on the cabinet.
• Use only the tools specified in the assembly instructions.

• 3 Flap doors with PVC rattan inserts
• Metal handles
• Metal legs/base

4. Assembly Instructions

Assembly typically requires two adults. Please follow the step-by-step instructions provided in the included assembly leaflet. Below are general guidelines:

1. Unpack and Identify Parts: Carefully unpack all components and lay them out on a soft, clean surface. Compare them against the parts list to ensure everything is present.
2. Assemble the Main Frame: Connect the side panels to the bottom and top panels using the provided hardware (e.g., dowels, cam locks, screws). Ensure all connections are secure.
3. Install Back Panel: Slide or attach the back panel to the main frame. This adds rigidity to the structure.
4. Attach Legs/Base: Secure the metal legs or base to the bottom of the cabinet.
5. Assemble Flap Doors: Attach the handles to each flap door.
6. Install Folding Mechanisms: Mount the folding compartment mechanisms (hinges and shoe supports) inside the cabinet according to the instructions.
7. Attach Flap Doors: Carefully attach each flap door to its respective folding mechanism. Test the opening and closing action to ensure smooth operation.
8. Wall Mounting (Crucial for Stability):
   • Position the assembled shoe cabinet in its desired location.
   • Mark the wall where the tilt protection hardware will be installed.
   • Drill appropriate holes in the wall (use suitable drill bits for your wall type).
   • Insert wall anchors if necessary.
   • Attach the tilt protection brackets/straps to the cabinet and then securely fasten them to the wall. This step is vital to prevent the cabinet from tipping over, especially in households with children or pets.

5. Usage (Operating Instructions)

The SoBuy FSR155-N shoe cabinet is designed for convenient shoe storage:

• Opening Flaps: Gently pull the handle of each flap to open the compartment. The folding mechanism will allow the shoe supports to tilt forward.
• Storing Shoes: Place your shoes onto the internal supports within each flap. The design allows for storing shoes of different sizes and shapes.
• Closing Flaps: Push the flap gently back into the cabinet until it is fully closed and flush with the cabinet front.
• Top Surface: The top surface can be used for decorative items, keys, or other small belongings, keeping in mind the load capacity.

6. Maintenance

• Cleaning: Wipe the cabinet surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, which can damage the finish and the PVC rattan.
• Rattan Care: The PVC rattan is designed to prevent mold and mildew. For general cleaning, a soft brush can be used to remove dust from the rattan weave.
• Hardware Check: Periodically check all screws and connections to ensure they remain tight. Retighten if necessary.
• Wall Mount Check: Regularly inspect the wall mounting hardware to ensure it is still securely fastened to both the cabinet and the wall.
• Avoid Direct Sunlight/Heat: Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or excessive heat can cause fading or warping of the wood materials.

7. Troubleshooting

• Cabinet feels wobbly:
  • Ensure all assembly screws and fasteners are tightened.
  • Verify that the cabinet is placed on a level surface.
  • Confirm that the tilt protection hardware is securely installed and attached to the wall.
• Flap doors do not open/close smoothly:
  • Check for any obstructions inside the compartment (e.g., shoes too large or misplaced).
  • Inspect the folding mechanism for any loose or misaligned parts.
  • Ensure the hinges are properly installed and lubricated if necessary.
• Scratches or minor damage:
  • For minor scratches on wood surfaces, touch-up pens or furniture polish can be used.
  • For rattan damage, contact customer support for advice.

9. User Tips

• Shoe Capacity: Each of the three flaps can typically accommodate 2-3 pairs of standard adult shoes, depending on their size and style. For larger shoes or boots, fewer pairs may fit per flap.
• Space Saving: Given its narrow depth (24 cm), this cabinet is ideal for hallways, entryways, or other areas where space is limited.
• Combination with FSR154-N: The FSR155-N shoe cabinet can be aesthetically combined with the SoBuy FSR154-N bench seat to create a coordinated entryway furniture set.
