Assembly Instructions
Setting up your Tribesigns Shoe Cabinet is designed to be straightforward. While one person can assemble it, two people are recommended for a smoother and quicker process, especially when attaching the doors.
- Preparation: Unpack all components and lay them out on a clean, soft surface (e.g., a blanket or cardboard) to prevent scratches during assembly. Identify all parts using the Parts List.
- Attach Metal Legs: Secure the metal legs to the base panel of the cabinet using the provided screws from the hardware pack. Ensure they are firmly attached.
- Assemble Frame: Connect the side panels to the base and back panel. Follow the numerical sequence in the detailed assembly diagram provided in your physical manual for correct orientation.
- Insert Shelves: Slide the five adjustable shelves into the designated slots within the cabinet frame. You can customize the height of the shelves to accommodate different shoe sizes.
- Attach Top Panel: Secure the top panel to the assembled frame using the appropriate fasteners.
- Install Doors: Attach the hinges to the doors, then carefully align and attach the doors to the main cabinet frame. Adjust the hinges as needed to ensure the doors close smoothly and are properly aligned. This step is easier with two people.
- Attach Handles: Fasten the handles to the front of the doors.
- Final Placement: Move the assembled shoe cabinet to its desired location. Adjust the leveling feet on the metal legs to ensure the cabinet is stable and does not wobble on uneven floors.

Care and Maintenance
Proper care will ensure the longevity and appearance of your shoe cabinet.
- Cleaning: Wipe all surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or polishes that may damage the finish.
- Dust Protection: The closed-back design and doors effectively protect your shoes from dust accumulation. Regularly wipe down the exterior to keep it clean.
- Hinges: The metal hinges are designed for silent and smooth operation. No special lubrication is typically required. Ensure they remain free of debris.
- Stability Check: Periodically check all screws and connections to ensure they remain tight. Re-tighten if necessary to maintain the cabinet's structural integrity.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your shoe cabinet, refer to the following table for common problems and solutions.
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
