Safety Information
- Anti-Tip Safety Anchor: It is crucial to secure the dresser to a wall using the provided anti-tip safety anchor. This prevents accidental tipping, which can cause serious injury or death. Always follow the installation instructions for the anti-tip device.
- Weight Capacity: Do not exceed the maximum weight capacity for the top surface (150 lbs) or individual drawers (25 lbs). Overloading can compromise stability and structural integrity.
- Assembly: Assemble the dresser on a soft, clean surface to prevent scratches. Ensure all hardware is securely tightened before use. Periodically check and re-tighten hardware as needed.
- Children: Keep children away from the assembly area. Do not allow children to climb on or play with the dresser.
- Placement: Place the dresser on a level surface to ensure stability.

Setup and Assembly Instructions
Assembly typically takes 30-45 minutes. Follow the step-by-step instructions provided in the included manual. Ensure you have a Phillips head screwdriver and a hammer (not included) for assembly.
- Unpack and Identify Parts: Carefully unpack all components and lay them out on a soft, clean surface. Refer to the parts list in your separate assembly guide to identify each piece.
- Assemble the Main Frame: Connect the side panels to the top and bottom panels using the designated hardware (e.g., dowels and cam locks). Ensure all connections are snug.
- Attach Back Panel: Secure the back panel to the main frame using small nails or screws. This adds stability to the structure.
- Install Drawer Slides: Attach the drawer slides to the inside of the dresser frame according to the markings. Ensure they are level and aligned.
- Assemble Drawers: Construct each of the three drawers by connecting the front, back, and side panels. Slide the drawer bottom into the grooves. Attach the remaining part of the drawer slides to the assembled drawers.
- Insert Drawers: Carefully slide the assembled drawers into the dresser frame, ensuring they glide smoothly on the installed slides.
- Attach Legs: Securely attach the wooden legs to the bottom of the dresser.
- Install Anti-Tip Kit: Position the dresser in its final location. Attach the anti-tip bracket to the back of the dresser and the corresponding bracket to the wall stud, then connect them with the strap. This step is critical for safety.

Maintenance
Proper care will ensure the longevity and appearance of your dresser.
- Cleaning: Wipe with a dry cloth to remove dust and light smudges. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the walnut finish.
- Spills: Immediately wipe up any spills with a soft, dry cloth to prevent water damage or staining, especially on the waterproof surface.
- Hardware: Periodically check all screws and fasteners to ensure they remain tight. Re-tighten as necessary to maintain structural integrity.
- Sunlight Exposure: Avoid prolonged direct sunlight exposure, which can cause fading or discoloration of the wood finish.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your dresser, refer to the following common solutions:
- Drawers not closing smoothly: Check if the drawer slides are properly aligned and free of obstructions. Ensure all assembly hardware for the slides is tightened.
- Dresser wobbles: Verify that the dresser is placed on a level surface. Check and tighten all assembly screws, especially those connecting the main frame components and legs. Ensure the anti-tip kit is securely installed.
- Scratches or minor damage: For minor scratches, a wood repair marker or furniture polish matching the walnut finish may be used.
- Missing parts: If any parts were missing upon delivery, contact Furniway customer support with your product model and purchase information.
