5. Setup and Assembly

Assembly of the Meilocar Over-the-Toilet Storage Cabinet is required. All parts, accessories, and a product installation manual are included in one package. Please follow the provided step-by-step instructions carefully.

Important Assembly Notes:

• Some boards may have different front and back sides. Pay close attention to the diagrams in the included manual to ensure correct orientation.
• It is recommended to assemble the unit on a soft, clean surface to prevent scratches.
• Ensure all screws and fasteners are tightened securely, but do not overtighten to avoid damaging the wood.
• After assembly, always install the anti-toppling fitting to secure the cabinet to the wall for safety.

Pre-Assembly Check:

Before starting, measure your toilet's height and width to ensure the cabinet will fit correctly. The cabinet requires a minimum clearance of 32.3 inches from the floor to accommodate most standard-height toilets.

6. Operation and Usage

The Meilocar Over-the-Toilet Storage Cabinet offers versatile storage options:

Adjustable Shelf:

The cabinet features an adjustable shelf inside the closed compartment. This allows you to customize the storage space to fit items of different heights, such as tall bottles of shampoo or smaller toiletries. To adjust, simply remove the shelf pins, reposition the shelf to the desired height, and reinsert the pins securely.

Open Shelf and Closed Storage:

Utilize the open shelf for frequently accessed items or decorative displays.

The doors are equipped with magnetic suction for secure closure and metal handles for easy access.

7. Maintenance and Care

To ensure the longevity and appearance of your Meilocar storage cabinet, follow these maintenance guidelines:

• Cleaning: Wipe the cabinet surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or scouring pads, as these can damage the finish.
• Moisture Protection: The cabinet features a waterproof and moisture-proof paint process. However, promptly wipe away any standing water or excessive moisture to prevent potential damage over time.
• Inspection: Periodically check all fasteners and connections to ensure they remain tight. Retighten if necessary.
• Sunlight Exposure: While fade-resistant, prolonged direct sunlight exposure may affect the finish over many years.

8. Troubleshooting

Cabinet Feels Unstable:

If the cabinet feels wobbly or unstable after assembly, ensure that all screws are fully tightened. Most importantly, verify that the anti-toppling fitting is correctly installed and securely anchored to the wall. This device is critical for the cabinet's stability.

Difficulty with Assembly Steps:

If you encounter difficulties during assembly, carefully re-read the included instruction manual and review the assembly video (Video 2). Pay close attention to the orientation of boards, as some may have specific front/back sides. If a step seems incorrect, double-check previous steps. For example, some users have noted that certain bracing steps might be easier if performed earlier than indicated in some generic instructions.

Cabinet Does Not Fit Over Toilet:

Before purchasing and assembling, it is essential to measure your toilet's dimensions, especially its height. The cabinet requires a minimum of 32.3 inches clearance from the floor to the bottom board. If your toilet is taller (e.g., a chair-height toilet), the cabinet may not fit properly, or its legs may not reach the floor, compromising stability.
