2. Important Safety Information
To prevent potential hazards and ensure the stability of your shoe cabinet, please adhere to the following safety guidelines:
- Anti-Tipping Kit: Always install the included anti-tipping kit to securely fix the cabinet to the wall. This is crucial to prevent the cabinet from tipping over, especially in households with children or pets.

5. Operating Instructions
Your Vabches Shoe Storage Cabinet is designed for convenient and efficient shoe organization.
- Using the Flip Drawers: Gently pull the metal handle to open each flip drawer. The drawer will tilt forward, allowing access to the internal shelves. Push the drawer back until it clicks into place to close it securely.

- Open Storage: The top surface of the cabinet provides an open storage area. This space is suitable for placing small items such as keys, wallets, decorative plants, or other entryway essentials.

- Sunlight Exposure: Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, which can cause fading or discoloration of the finish.
