2. Safety Information
Please read and understand all safety instructions before assembly and use. Failure to follow these instructions may result in injury or damage to the product.
- Anti-Tipping Device: To prevent tipping, it is essential to install the included anti-tipping device and secure each cabinet to a wall. This is crucial for safety, especially in households with children or pets.
- Weight Capacity: Do not exceed the recommended weight capacity for the tabletop (28 lbs) and each shelf (20 lbs). Overloading can compromise stability and structural integrity.
- Assembly: Assemble the unit on a soft, clean surface to prevent scratches. Ensure all screws and fasteners are tightened securely before use. Periodically check and re-tighten fasteners as needed.
- Placement: Place the cabinet on a level surface. Avoid placing it in areas with high humidity or direct sunlight, which can affect the wood and rattan materials.
- Children: Keep small parts and packaging materials away from children during assembly.
