4. Operating Instructions
4.1 Shoe Storage
- Flip-Down Doors: The cabinet features three flip-down doors that open downward for easy access to your footwear. These doors effectively conceal shoes, blocking dust and maintaining a tidy appearance in your living space.

- Adjustable & Removable Dividers: Each shoe compartment is equipped with interior shelves and removable dividers. This allows for flexible storage configurations. In a standard setup, each shelf can hold 3-4 pairs of shoes, accommodating a total of 14-18 pairs. You can remove the dividers to fit taller items such as boots, bags, or oversized footwear.

5. Maintenance
- Cleaning: Wipe the cabinet surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners, harsh chemicals, or solvents, as these can damage the finish.
- Dusting: Regularly dust the cabinet with a dry, soft cloth to prevent buildup.
- Hardware Check: Periodically (e.g., every 3-6 months) check all screws, cam locks, and other fasteners to ensure they remain tight. Tighten any loose hardware to maintain stability and safety.
- Avoid Moisture: Protect the cabinet from excessive moisture and direct sunlight to prevent warping or discoloration.
6. Troubleshooting
- Cabinet is Wobbly:
1. Ensure the cabinet is placed on a flat, level surface.
2. Re-check all screws and cam locks, tightening any that are loose. - Doors Not Closing Properly:
1. Check for any obstructions inside the shoe compartments.
2. Inspect the hinges and shoe compartment mechanisms for proper alignment and ensure they are securely fastened. - Anti-Tip Restraint Loose:
1. Immediately re-secure the anti-tip restraint to the wall and cabinet.
2. Ensure the wall anchors are firmly in place and the screws are tight. - Scratches or Minor Damage:
1. For minor scratches, a furniture repair pen or touch-up paint matching the white finish can be used.

8. User Tips
- Sort Parts First: Before starting assembly, lay out and sort all hardware and panels. This will save time and prevent confusion.
- Hand-Tighten Initially: When using screws, hand-tighten them until snug, then use a screwdriver for final tightening. Avoid over-tightening, especially with power tools, to prevent stripping screws or damaging panels.
- Leveling: If your floor is uneven, consider using small furniture pads or shims under the metal frame to ensure the cabinet is perfectly level and stable.
- Maximize Space: Utilize the adjustable dividers to customize storage for different shoe types. For larger boots, remove the dividers entirely.
