2. Safety Information and Warnings

Important: Failure to follow these safety guidelines may result in product damage, personal injury, or void the warranty.

• Assembly: Assemble the furniture according to the instructions provided. Do not use excessive force during assembly.
• Installation Surface: Install the furniture on horizontal, even surfaces to prevent stress on joints and potential deformation. Installation on uneven surfaces can lead to damage and malfunction of closing mechanisms.
• Wall Mounting: This furniture must be securely fastened to the wall to prevent tipping or falling, which can cause serious or fatal injuries. Wall anchors (e.g., dowels, hooks, screws) suitable for your specific wall type and strength are not included and must be purchased separately. Always verify the suitability of any provided mounting hardware and replace if necessary.
• Temperature and Humidity: Install the furniture in well-ventilated rooms, away from direct sunlight and heat sources (maintain a minimum distance of 30 cm). Avoid direct contact with water. While designed to withstand normal humid conditions (steam, accidental splashes), prolonged exposure to high humidity will cause swelling and deterioration, which is not covered by warranty. This furniture is not designed for outdoor installation.
• Surface Protection: Do not place wet or hot objects directly on the furniture surfaces. In case of contact with water or other substances, immediately clean with a soft, absorbent textile material.
• Manufacturing Tolerances: Pre-drilled holes with non-linear edges are not factory defects, as they do not affect the stability or use of the furniture. Such holes are covered by components, hinges, and hole covers during assembly.
• Adhesive Residue: Remove any adhesive residue along the edge of components with a slightly damp cloth.

3. Package Contents

5. Setup and Assembly

The Mama Store Reversible Wooden Column is supplied as a self-assembly kit. Follow these steps carefully for proper installation.

5.1 Before You Begin

• Clear a spacious, clean, and flat area for assembly.
• Unpack all components and verify against the package contents list.
• Gather necessary tools (e.g., screwdriver, hammer, drill for wall mounting).
• Ensure you have appropriate wall anchors for your wall type (not included).

5.2 Assembly Steps

1. Assemble the Cabinet Frame: Follow the detailed diagrams in the included paper instructions to connect the side panels, top, and bottom panels using the provided screws and dowels. Ensure all connections are tight and secure.
2. Install Fixed Shelf: Insert the fixed central shelf into its designated slots within the cabinet frame.
3. Install Glass Shelves: Place the 4mm thick glass shelves onto the adjustable shelf supports inside the cabinet. Ensure they are stable.
4. Attach Hinges to Door: Secure the hinges to the cabinet door. The door is reversible, allowing you to choose left or right opening during this step.
5. Attach Door to Cabinet: Mount the door with hinges to the cabinet frame. Adjust the hinges to ensure the door closes smoothly and aligns correctly.

5.3 Wall Mounting

After assembling the cabinet, proceed with wall mounting. This step is critical for safety.

1. Choose Location: Select a suitable wall location, ensuring it is level and free from pipes or electrical wires.
2. Mark Drilling Points: Hold the assembled cabinet against the wall at the desired height and mark the positions for the wall mounting brackets/holes. Use a spirit level to ensure it is perfectly horizontal.
3. Drill Holes: Drill holes at the marked positions using a drill bit appropriate for your wall type and the chosen wall anchors.
4. Insert Wall Anchors: Insert the appropriate wall anchors (e.g., plastic dowels for masonry, toggle bolts for drywall) into the drilled holes.
5. Mount Cabinet: Securely attach the cabinet to the wall using screws that are compatible with your chosen wall anchors. Ensure the cabinet is firmly fixed and does not wobble.

6. Operation

This column features a convenient push-pull opening system for its door.

• To Open: Gently push the door inward. The push-pull mechanism will release, and the door will spring open slightly, allowing you to pull it fully open.
• To Close: Push the door firmly until you hear a click. This indicates the push-pull mechanism has engaged, holding the door securely closed.

7. Maintenance and Care

Proper care will help maintain the appearance and longevity of your furniture.

• Cleaning: For general cleaning, wipe surfaces with a soft, slightly damp cloth. For grease or liquid marks, use a dry cloth immediately. Avoid abrasive cleaners, harsh chemicals, or excessive moisture.
• Humidity Control: Ensure the room is well-ventilated to prevent excessive humidity, which can cause the wood-based material to swell.
• Heat and Sunlight: Protect the furniture from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent discoloration or material degradation.
• Hinge Adjustment: If the door does not close properly or becomes misaligned over time, adjust the hinges as needed. Refer to the assembly instructions for hinge adjustment details.

8. Troubleshooting

This section addresses common issues that may arise during or after installation.

• Door does not close properly: Check hinge alignment. Adjust hinges as per assembly instructions. Ensure the cabinet is installed on a level surface.
• Cabinet appears unstable or wobbly: Verify that the cabinet is securely fastened to the wall with appropriate wall anchors. Ensure all assembly screws are tightened. Confirm the installation surface is horizontal and even.
• Swelling or deformation of material: This is typically caused by exposure to high humidity or direct contact with water. Ensure the installation environment is adequately ventilated and avoid placing wet items directly on surfaces. Damage from high humidity is not covered by warranty.
• Pre-drilled holes appear imperfect: Minor imperfections in pre-drilled holes with non-linear edges are not manufacturing defects if they do not affect stability or function, as they are covered by other components during assembly.

9. Warranty

The Mama Store Reversible Wooden Column is covered by a manufacturer's warranty against defects in materials and workmanship. This warranty typically covers manufacturing faults that occur under normal use and maintenance.

The warranty does NOT cover:

• Damage resulting from improper assembly or installation (e.g., not using appropriate wall anchors, installing on uneven surfaces).
• Damage caused by misuse, neglect, accidents, or unauthorized modifications.
• Deterioration due to exposure to high humidity, direct water contact, or extreme temperatures.
• Normal wear and tear.

For warranty claims, please retain your proof of purchase and contact the retailer or manufacturer.
