4. Setup Instructions
Adult assembly is required for this storage organizer. Follow these steps carefully:
- Unpack Components: Carefully remove all parts from the packaging and lay them out on a clean, flat surface. Verify all parts listed in Section 3 are present.

- Returning Items: Encourage children to return items to their designated bins after use. The open design facilitates easy cleanup and organization.
