2. Safety Information
Your safety and the safety of your child are paramount. This dresser is designed and engineered to meet the highest safety standards, including ASTM F2057-23 [STURDY], to prevent tip-overs.
2.1 Anti-Tip Kit Installation
It is mandatory to install the included anti-tip kit to securely anchor the dresser to the wall. Failure to install this device can result in serious injury or death from furniture tip-over.
2.2 Interlocking Drawer System
The dresser features an interlocking drawer system that limits the number of drawers that can be opened at one time. This design helps prevent the dresser from becoming top-heavy and tipping over when drawers are extended.

2.3 General Safety Precautions
- Never allow children to climb on the dresser.
- Keep small parts and assembly hardware away from children.
- Ensure the dresser is placed on a level surface.
- Regularly check all bolts and fasteners to ensure they are tight.
- Do not place heavy objects on top of the dresser that could cause instability.
3. Setup and Assembly
Assembly of the Child Craft Cranbrook Double Dresser is required. Please follow the step-by-step instructions provided in the separate assembly guide included with your product. Ensure all parts are present before beginning assembly.
3.1 Before You Begin
- Unpack all components and verify against the parts list in the assembly guide.
- Clear a spacious area for assembly.
- Gather necessary tools (typically a Phillips head screwdriver and Allen wrench, often included).
- If any parts are missing or damaged, do not proceed with assembly. Contact customer support immediately.
3.2 Assembly Tips
- Assemble the dresser on a soft, clean surface (e.g., a rug or blanket) to prevent scratching.

4.1 Drawer Operation
The six drawers are equipped with ball-bearing glides for smooth opening and closing. To open a drawer, gently pull the metal handle. To close, push the drawer firmly until it is fully seated. Remember the interlocking system allows only one drawer to be opened at a time.

5. Maintenance
Proper care will ensure the longevity of your Child Craft dresser.
- Cleaning: Wipe the dresser surfaces with a dry cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners, harsh chemicals, or polishes that may damage the non-toxic finish.
- Hardware: Periodically check all screws, bolts, and fasteners to ensure they remain tight. Loose hardware can affect the dresser's stability and safety.
- Environment: Avoid placing the dresser in direct sunlight or near heat sources, which can cause wood to warp or fade. Maintain a stable room temperature and humidity.
6. Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your dresser, please refer to the following common troubleshooting steps:
- Drawers sticking or not closing smoothly: Check if the ball-bearing glides are properly aligned and free of obstructions. Ensure the dresser is on a level surface.
- Dresser feels unstable: Verify that all assembly hardware is securely tightened. Confirm the anti-tip kit is correctly installed and anchored to a wall stud. Ensure the dresser is on a flat, level floor.
- Missing or misaligned parts during assembly: Refer to your assembly guide's parts list. If parts are missing, incorrectly manufactured, or holes are not pre-drilled as expected, stop assembly and contact Child Craft customer support for assistance. Do not attempt to modify parts or force assembly.
