5. Operating Instructions

5.2 Adjusting Shelf Height
Each flip drawer contains internal panels that can be adjusted or removed. To adjust, carefully lift the panel from its current grooves and reposition it into a different set of grooves to accommodate taller or shorter footwear. For very tall items like boots, the panel can be completely removed to create a single, larger compartment.
