Operating Instructions
The Walker Edison Sloane 6-Drawer Dresser is designed for storing clothing, linens, and other personal items. Its six spacious drawers provide ample organization.
- Drawer Operation: To open a drawer, gently pull on the integrated groove handle. To close, push the drawer firmly until it is fully seated within the frame. Avoid slamming drawers to prevent damage to the slides and frame.
- Weight Distribution: Distribute weight evenly across the drawers. Place heavier items in lower drawers to enhance stability and reduce the risk of tipping.

Care and Maintenance
Proper care will help maintain the appearance and longevity of your dresser.
- Cleaning: Wipe the dresser surfaces with a dry, soft cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or excessive moisture, as these can damage the finish.
- Spills: Immediately blot any spills with a clean, dry cloth.
- Sunlight Exposure: Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, which can cause fading or discoloration of the wood finish.
- Humidity: Maintain a consistent humidity level in the room to prevent wood from expanding or contracting, which can lead to cracks or warping.
- Hardware Check: Periodically check all screws and fasteners to ensure they remain tight. Re-tighten as needed to maintain structural integrity.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your dresser, refer to the following common solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Dresser is wobbly | Loose fasteners; uneven floor | Ensure all screws and cam locks are tightened. Place shims under legs if the floor is uneven. |
| Drawers do not slide smoothly | Misaligned drawer slides; obstruction; excessive weight | Check that drawer slides are correctly installed and aligned. Remove any obstructions. Reduce weight in the drawer. |
| Drawers do not close completely | Obstruction; misaligned drawer front; overfilled drawer | Check for items blocking the drawer. Ensure the drawer front is properly attached. Do not overfill drawers. |
| Visible gaps between panels | Loose connections; incorrect assembly | Re-check all connections and ensure they are fully tightened. Review assembly steps in the PDF manual. |
