Assembly typically requires two people. Use appropriate tools (e.g., screwdriver, hammer) as indicated in the detailed assembly guide provided with the product. Follow the numbered steps carefully.

3. Install Back Panel: Slide or nail the back panel into the grooves or attach it to the rear of the frame. This adds stability.

5. Operating Instructions (Usage)

The Demeyere Shoe Cabinet is designed for straightforward use.

• Opening/Closing Doors: Use the handles to gently open and close the two cabinet doors. Ensure they close completely to keep shoes dust-free and out of sight.
• Adjusting Shelves: To adjust shelf height, remove all items from the shelf. Lift the shelf, remove the shelf pins, reposition the pins into the desired holes, and then place the shelf back onto the pins. This allows customization for different shoe types (e.g., boots, heels, flats).
• Shoe Placement: Place shoes neatly on the shelves. To maximize space, consider alternating the direction of shoes (toe-in, toe-out).
