Important Safety Information
This furniture must be secured to the wall with the safety device provided to help prevent it from tipping over if a child climbs or hangs on it. Different wall materials require different types of fasteners. Always use fasteners suitable for the walls in your home to ensure stability and safety.
Always follow the assembly instructions carefully to ensure the dresser is built correctly and securely. Do not modify the product in any way that could compromise its structural integrity or safety features.
Product Overview
The IKEA RAST dresser is a versatile and durable piece of furniture made primarily from solid pine wood. Its untreated surface allows for customization, such as oiling, waxing, lacquering, or staining, to enhance its durability and ease of care.
The dresser features three drawers, providing practical storage. The main parts, drawer sides, and drawer back are constructed from solid pine, while the back panel and drawer bottoms are made of fiberboard with an acrylic paint finish.
Setup and Assembly
The IKEA RAST dresser requires assembly. All necessary components and a detailed pictorial instruction manual are included in the packaging. Please ensure you have adequate space and the recommended tools before beginning assembly.
- Unpack all components and verify against the parts list in the included manual.
- Follow the step-by-step instructions provided in the assembly manual carefully.
- Once assembled, secure the dresser to the wall using the provided safety device and appropriate fasteners for your wall type. This step is crucial for preventing tip-over accidents.
For optimal stability, ensure all screws and fittings are tightened securely, but do not overtighten.
Operation
The RAST dresser is designed for storing various items within its three drawers. To operate, simply pull the wooden knobs to open the drawers and push them to close. Ensure drawers are closed completely to maintain a tidy appearance and prevent accidental opening.
Avoid overloading the drawers, as this can affect their smooth operation and potentially damage the drawer runners or the dresser structure.
Care and Maintenance
Proper care will extend the life and appearance of your RAST dresser.
- Cleaning: Wipe clean with a damp cloth. For best results, wipe dry immediately with a clean cloth.
- Stain Removal: Stains can often be removed using an eraser, fine sandpaper, soap, dishwashing detergent, or paint thinner, depending on the type of stain. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
- Wood Treatment: If you oil, wax, lacquer, or stain the untreated solid wood surface, it will become more durable and easier to care for. Follow the instructions of the specific wood treatment product you choose.
- Avoid Moisture: Protect the dresser from excessive moisture and direct sunlight to prevent warping or discoloration of the wood.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your RAST dresser, consider the following common solutions:
- Wobbly Dresser: Ensure all assembly screws and wall fasteners are securely tightened. Check that the dresser is placed on a level surface. Adjust glides if present.
- Drawers Sticking or Not Closing Smoothly: Verify that the drawer runners are correctly installed and free from obstructions. Ensure drawers are not overloaded. Check that the dresser frame is square and not warped.
- Damaged Surface: Minor scratches or dents on the untreated pine can often be sanded lightly with fine-grit sandpaper and then re-treated with oil, wax, lacquer, or stain to match the surrounding area.
For persistent issues not resolved by these steps, refer to the original assembly manual or contact IKEA customer support.
