- Attach Drawer Runners: Secure the drawer runners to the inside of the chest's side panels using the designated screws. Ensure they are level and correctly aligned.

5. Operating Instructions
The Galano Cleverton 4-Drawer Chest is designed for storing clothing, linens, and other household items. Each drawer operates on smooth metal runners for easy opening and closing.
- Opening/Closing Drawers: Gently pull or push the handles to open and close the drawers. Avoid forcing drawers, especially if they feel stiff.
- Weight Capacity: Distribute weight evenly within each drawer. Do not overload drawers, as this can cause damage to the runners or the drawer structure. The top surface can hold decorative items, but avoid excessive weight.
- Stability: Always ensure the chest is stable and securely anchored to the wall. Avoid opening multiple drawers simultaneously, as this can affect stability.
