Operating Instructions

This shoe cabinet is designed for organized and ventilated shoe storage.

• Shoe Storage: Open the slatted doors to access the interior shelves. Place shoes neatly on the shelves. The cabinet can hold up to 20 pairs of shoes, depending on shoe size and type.
• Adjustable Shelves: The internal shelves are adjustable. To change shelf height, remove the shelf and reposition the shelf pins into the desired holes. This allows accommodation for different shoe sizes, including boots or taller footwear. Ensure shelves are inserted at a slight downward angle for proper fit, as noted in customer feedback.
• Ventilation: The slatted door design promotes air circulation, helping to ventilate shoes and reduce odor and dirt accumulation inside the cabinet.
• Top Surface: The flat top surface can be used to display small decorative items, photo albums, or to temporarily place keys and other small belongings. Do not place heavy items on the top surface.

The cabinet offers ample storage with five tiers of shelving for various shoe types.

The shelves are adjustable to accommodate different shoe heights.

Slatted doors provide ventilation to keep shoes fresh.

Maintenance

Proper care will extend the life and appearance of your shoe cabinet.

• Cleaning: Wipe surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, which can damage the finish.
• Spills: Immediately wipe up any spills to prevent staining or damage to the engineered wood.
• Inspection: Periodically check all fasteners and connections to ensure they remain tight. Re-tighten if necessary.
• Avoid Moisture: Do not expose the cabinet to excessive moisture or humidity, as this can cause swelling or warping of the engineered wood.
• Protect from Scratches: Use coasters or protective pads under items placed on the top surface to prevent scratches.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your shoe cabinet, refer to the following common solutions:

• Doors Not Aligning: If the doors appear uneven or do not close properly, adjust the hinges. Refer to the assembly manual for detailed hinge adjustment instructions.
• Shelves Do Not Fit: Ensure shelves are inserted correctly. They may need to be placed at a slight downward angle to fit properly within the cabinet. Do not force shelves into place.
• Wobbling Cabinet: Check that the cabinet is placed on a level surface. Ensure all assembly fasteners are securely tightened. Verify that the anti-tipping hardware is correctly installed and secured to the wall.
• Paint Chipping: Engineered wood finishes can be susceptible to chipping if mishandled. Handle the cabinet with care during assembly and use. For minor chips, touch-up paint may be used.
• Missing Parts: If any parts were missing upon delivery, contact customer support for replacements.
