4. Installation

The shoe cabinet can be installed as a freestanding unit or wall-mounted for added stability and safety.

Freestanding Installation:

Place the assembled cabinet on a flat, level surface. Ensure it is stable and does not wobble. For optimal stability, especially in households with children or pets, wall mounting is strongly recommended.

Wall Mounting (Recommended):

To prevent tipping, the cabinet must be secured to a wall using the anti-tipping device included. The type of wall material determines the appropriate mounting hardware. Consult a professional if you are unsure about the correct fasteners for your wall.

1. Position the cabinet in its desired location against the wall.
2. Mark the wall through the holes in the anti-tipping bracket (usually located at the top rear of the cabinet).
3. Drill pilot holes into the wall at the marked locations, using a drill bit appropriate for your wall type and chosen fasteners.
4. Attach the anti-tipping bracket to the wall using suitable screws and wall plugs (not always included, may need to be purchased separately based on wall type).
5. Secure the cabinet to the bracket using the provided screws.
6. Ensure the cabinet is firmly attached to the wall and does not move.
