1. Prepare the Area: Clear a spacious, flat, and clean area for assembly. Lay down a blanket or cardboard to protect the furniture panels from scratches.
2. Identify Components: Unpack all parts and identify them using the provided diagrams (if any are included in the physical package). Refer to the dimensional diagram below for key measurements.
3. Assemble the Frame: Attach the side panels to the bottom panel, then secure the top panel. Use dowels, screws, and cam locks as indicated in the instructions.
4. Install Drawer Guides: Attach the drawer roller guides to the inner sides of the chest frame. Ensure they are level and correctly oriented.

Operating Instructions

The AKORD 4-Drawer Chest is designed for straightforward use.

• Drawer Operation: Gently pull the drawer fronts to open and push to close. The roller guides ensure smooth and quiet movement.
• Storage: Utilize the four spacious drawers to store clothing, linens, documents, or other household items. Organize contents neatly to maximize space and prevent items from getting caught in the drawer mechanism.
• Placement: Position the chest on a flat, stable surface. Avoid placing it in direct sunlight or near heat sources to prevent material degradation.

Maintenance

Proper care will ensure the longevity and appearance of your AKORD 4-Drawer Chest.

• Cleaning: The chest is easy to clean. Simply wipe surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners, harsh chemicals, or excessive moisture, as these can damage the finish.
• Dusting: Regularly dust the surfaces with a dry, soft cloth.
• Drawer Guides: If drawer movement becomes stiff over time, a small amount of silicone-based lubricant can be applied to the roller guides.
• Hardware: Periodically check all screws and fasteners to ensure they remain tight. Re-tighten if any looseness is detected.

Troubleshooting

Drawers are stiff or not sliding smoothly:

• Check if the drawer contents are evenly distributed and not overloaded.
• Inspect the roller guides for any obstructions or damage.
• Ensure all screws holding the drawer guides to both the drawer and the chest frame are securely tightened.
• Apply a silicone-based lubricant to the roller guides if necessary.

Chest feels wobbly or unstable:

• Verify that the chest is placed on a level surface.
• Check and re-tighten all assembly screws and fasteners throughout the entire frame.
• Consider using wall anchoring hardware for increased stability, especially on uneven floors.
