Operating Instructions
The Mainstays Classic 4 Drawer Dresser is designed for storing clothing, linens, and other household items.
- Drawer Use: Gently pull and push drawers to open and close. Avoid forcing drawers, as this can damage the slides.
- Weight Distribution: Distribute weight evenly within each drawer. Do not place heavy items primarily at the front of the drawer, as this can cause instability.
- Top Surface: The top surface can be used for decorative items or lightweight storage, not exceeding 50 lbs.
- Stability: Always ensure the dresser is securely anchored to the wall, especially when drawers are open. Opening multiple drawers simultaneously can affect stability.
Maintenance
Proper care will extend the life and appearance of your dresser.
- Cleaning: Wipe the dresser surfaces with a dry, soft cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners, harsh chemicals, or excessive moisture, which can damage the finish.
- Spills: Immediately wipe up any spills with a dry cloth to prevent staining or damage to the laminated particleboard.
- Hardware: Periodically check all screws and fasteners to ensure they are tight. Retighten if necessary.
- Drawer Slides: If drawers become stiff, a small amount of silicone-based lubricant can be applied to the metal slides.
