4. Operating Instructions

The Baxton Studio Winda Shoe Cabinet is designed for convenient and discreet shoe storage.

• Opening/Closing Doors: Use the silver knobs to open and close the two cabinet doors. Magnetic closures ensure the doors stay shut.

• Adjustable Shelves: The shelves are adjustable, allowing you to customize the height to accommodate different shoe types, from flats to boots. Simply remove the shelf pins, reposition the shelf to the desired height, and reinsert the pins.
• Ventilation: Slits embedded within the doors promote air circulation, helping to prevent odor and moisture buildup.
• Top Surface: The flat top surface can be used for decorative items, keys, or other small entryway essentials.
