Setup and Assembly

Step 1: Unpack and Identify Components

Carefully remove all components from the packaging. Lay them out and compare them with the package contents list to ensure everything is present and undamaged. Identify the different metal frame pieces, the wood top, and the fabric bins.

Step 2: Assemble the Metal Frame

Step 3: Place the Wood Top

Once the metal frame is fully assembled and stable, carefully place the wood top panel onto the designated top supports of the frame. Ensure it is aligned properly and secured if there are any fastening points.

Step 4: Insert Fabric Bins

Unfold the fabric bins and insert the bottom support panels into each bin to give them shape and rigidity. Place the large fabric bins (6 units) into the larger compartments and the compact fabric bins (4 units) into the smaller compartments. The bins are designed to slide smoothly into the frame's shelves.

Maintenance

Proper care will extend the life and appearance of your SortWise storage unit.

• Cleaning the Frame and Wood Top: Wipe the metal frame and wood top with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, which can damage the finish.
• Cleaning Fabric Bins: The fabric bins are made of polyester with MDF board inserts. For light cleaning, wipe with a damp cloth. For deeper cleaning, the bins can be removed and spot cleaned with mild soap and water. Allow them to air dry completely before reinserting. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
• Regular Checks: Periodically inspect all screws and connections to ensure they remain tight. Re-tighten if necessary to maintain stability.
