4. Operation

The HOMEFORT Shoe Storage Cabinet is designed for ease of use and efficient organization.

Using the Flip Drawers:

• Opening: Gently pull the handle on each drawer to flip it open. The drawers are designed to tilt forward, providing easy access to your shoes.
• Closing: Push the drawer back into the cabinet until it is flush with the front surface.
• Adjusting Shelves: The internal dividers within each flip drawer can be removed or adjusted to two different positions to accommodate various shoe heights, such as high heels or boots. Simply unclip or unscrew the divider and reposition it as needed.

Utilizing Storage Areas:

• Top Countertop: Use the flat top surface for placing keys, mail, small plants, or decorative items. The raised edge helps prevent items from falling.
• Bottom Open Shelf: The open shelf at the bottom is suitable for frequently used shoes or larger items that may not fit in the flip drawers.
