Operating Instructions

The VASAGLE CUSTOS Shoe Storage Bench is designed for both shoe organization and comfortable seating.

Shoe Storage

The bench features 15 compartments, each capable of holding one pair of standard-sized shoes. For larger shoes or boots, you may need to adjust placement (e.g., placing one shoe sideways, or one boot per cubby) to ensure a proper fit.

Maintenance

• Cleaning the Bench: Wipe the particleboard surfaces with a dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
• Cushion Care: The linen-look fabric cover of the cushion can be removed via its zipper. Follow the care instructions on the cushion label for cleaning. Typically, spot cleaning or gentle hand washing is recommended.
• Regular Checks: Periodically check all screws and connections to ensure they remain tight and secure.

Troubleshooting

• Shoes do not fit in cubbies: The cubbies are designed for standard shoe sizes. For larger shoes (e.g., men's size 10+ or certain boot styles), you may need to place them sideways or store one shoe per cubby.
• Bench feels unstable: Ensure all screws and fasteners are tightened securely. Verify the bench is on a level surface. If the issue persists, re-check assembly steps.
• Shelf pegs fall out: During assembly or movement, ensure the small metal pegs supporting the shelves are fully inserted into their holes. If they repeatedly fall out, ensure the shelf is correctly aligned.
