Important Safety Information

WARNING: Furniture Tip-Over Hazard

Serious or fatal crushing injuries can occur from furniture tip-overs. To prevent this dresser from tipping over, it must be securely attached to the wall using an anti-tip device. An anti-tip kit is NOT included with this product and must be purchased separately. Always install an anti-tip device immediately upon assembly.

• Never allow children to climb on or play with the dresser or its drawers.

Failure to follow these warnings can result in serious injury or death.

2. Identify Parts: Unpack all components and hardware. Match them against the parts list in your included manual.
3. Assemble the Frame: Begin by assembling the main frame of the dresser. Note that every screw hole is pre-embedded with fittings to enhance connection strength and ease of assembly.
4. Install Drawer Glides: Attach the three-section silent sliding rails to the dresser frame and drawer boxes according to the instructions. Ensure they are aligned correctly for smooth operation.
5. Assemble Drawers: Construct the six drawer boxes. Insert the drawer bases.

Operating Instructions

The Messenya 6-Drawer Dresser is designed for storing clothes, accessories, and other household items. Its six smooth-gliding drawers provide ample storage capacity.

• Drawer Operation: Gently pull the electroplated handles to open the drawers. The three-section silent sliding rails ensure smooth and quiet operation. Push firmly to close until the drawer is fully seated.
• Weight Distribution: Distribute weight evenly across the drawers. Avoid overloading individual drawers to maintain smooth operation and prevent damage to the glides.
• Top Surface Use: The spacious tabletop can be used for displaying decor items such as photo frames, lamps, or alarm clocks. Ensure items placed on top do not exceed the dresser's weight capacity or obstruct drawer access.

Maintenance and Care

Proper care will help maintain the appearance and longevity of your dresser.

• Cleaning: For general cleaning, wipe the surface with a soft, dry cloth. For spills or stubborn marks, use a slightly damp cloth and then immediately dry the surface with a clean, dry cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals.
• Dusting: Regularly dust the dresser with a soft, lint-free cloth.
• Sunlight Exposure: Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, which can cause fading or discoloration of the wood finish.
• Moisture: Protect the dresser from excessive moisture and humidity. Use coasters under drinks to prevent water rings.
• Hardware Check: Periodically check all screws and fasteners to ensure they are tight. Retighten if necessary.
