4. Assembly Instructions
Assembly is designed to be straightforward with detailed instructions and labeled parts. It is recommended to assemble the unit on a soft surface like a carpet or rug to prevent scratches.
General Assembly Tips:
- Identify all parts by their labels before starting.
- While an Allen wrench is provided, using a hex driver (preferably a ratchet driver) can significantly speed up assembly and reduce effort. Avoid using power drills to prevent stripping screws or damaging panels.
- Hand-tighten screws until resistance is felt to avoid overtightening.
- Consider assembling the main frame on a tabletop for easier access, then install slats and doors once the cabinet is upright in its final location.
- Ensure the anti-tip kit is installed as per safety guidelines.

5. Operating Instructions
Adjustable Shelves:
The shoe cabinet features 3 adjustable shelves, allowing you to customize the internal storage space. To adjust a shelf, carefully remove it from its current position and reinsert it into the desired set of pre-drilled holes. This flexibility accommodates various shoe types, from flats to mid-calf boots.
