2. Setup and Assembly

Assembly of the mDesign Vertical Dresser Storage Tower is required. Please follow these general steps. Ensure all parts are present before beginning assembly.

1. Unpack Components: Carefully remove all parts from the packaging and lay them out on a clean, flat surface. Verify that all hardware and frame pieces are accounted for.
2. Assemble Frame: Connect the steel frame components according to the included diagrams. Ensure all connections are secure. The frame typically consists of vertical supports and horizontal bars that form the structure for the drawers.
3. Attach Top Panel: Secure the wood top panel to the assembled steel frame using the provided screws. Ensure it is flush and stable.
4. Insert Adjustable Feet: Screw the adjustable feet into the bottom of the frame. These can be adjusted to level the unit on uneven surfaces.

3. Operating Instructions

This storage tower is designed for organizing various household items. Follow these guidelines for optimal use:

• Drawer Use: Utilize the fabric drawers for storing clothing, linens, accessories, or other lightweight items. The built-in handles allow for easy opening and closing.
• Weight Distribution: Distribute items evenly within the drawers to prevent sagging or strain on the fabric. Avoid overloading individual drawers with excessively heavy items, as this may affect their longevity and ease of use.
• Top Surface: The wood top provides an additional surface for displaying decorative items, lamps, or other lightweight objects. The top is water-resistant, offering protection against minor spills.
• Stability: Ensure the unit is placed on a flat, stable surface. Adjust the leveling feet as needed to prevent wobbling. For enhanced safety, especially in households with children, consider securing the unit to a wall using appropriate anti-tip hardware (not included).

4. Maintenance

Proper maintenance will help prolong the life and appearance of your storage tower.

• Cleaning the Frame and Top: Wipe the steel frame and wood top with a dry cloth to remove dust and debris. For minor spills on the wood top, wipe immediately with a damp cloth and dry thoroughly. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
• Cleaning Fabric Drawers: The fabric drawers can be spot cleaned with a mild detergent and a damp cloth. Allow them to air dry completely before reinserting into the frame. Do not machine wash or tumble dry the fabric drawers.
• Regular Inspection: Periodically check all screws and connections to ensure they remain tight. Retighten if necessary to maintain stability.

5. Troubleshooting

Refer to this section for solutions to common issues.

• Unit Wobbles:
  Solution: Ensure the unit is on a flat surface. Adjust the leveling feet at the bottom of the frame until the unit is stable. Check that all frame connections are securely tightened.
• Drawers are Difficult to Open/Close or Slip Out:
  Solution: Ensure the fabric drawers are properly unfolded and the bottom liners are fully inserted. Verify that the drawers are not overloaded, which can cause them to sag or become misaligned. Avoid pulling drawers out too quickly or forcefully.
• Unusual Odor from Drawers:
  Solution: New fabric items may have a slight odor upon unpacking. This typically dissipates quickly. To expedite the process, remove the drawers and allow them to air out in a well-ventilated area for a few days before use.
