5. Operating Instructions

The Tvilum Homeline 8 Drawer Double Dresser is designed for storing clothing and other household items.

• Opening Drawers: Gently pull the handle of the desired drawer to open it.

• Fasteners: Periodically check all screws, bolts, and cam locks to ensure they remain tight. Re-tighten as necessary.
