Maintenance and Care
- Cleaning: The cabinet is made of high-quality MDF wood with a smooth, wear-resistant, and waterproof surface. To clean, simply wipe with a damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that could damage the finish.
- Odor Control: Unlike open shoe racks, this cabinet helps contain shoe odors. For best results, ensure shoes are dry before storing. Consider using shoe deodorizers if needed.
- Regular Checks: Periodically inspect all hardware and connections to ensure they remain tight. Retighten any loose screws to maintain stability.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Cabinet is wobbly or unstable. | Loose screws; uneven floor; anti-tipping kit not installed. | Ensure all assembly screws are tightened. Place on a level surface. Install the anti-tipping kit securely to the wall. |
| Flip-down compartments do not close properly. | Shoes are too large or improperly placed; hinges are misaligned. | Adjust shoe placement or remove dividers for larger shoes. Check hinge alignment and re-adjust if necessary. |
| Shoes do not stay in place when compartments are closed. | Improper shoe placement; compartment design. | Ensure shoes are placed firmly against the back of the compartment. For certain shoe types, additional inserts or careful arrangement may be required to prevent movement. |
