• Tools: Use appropriate tools for assembly. A screwdriver/drill and a hammer may be required (not included).
• Footwear Size: Be aware that larger shoe sizes (e.g., men's size 10 and above) may require adjusting or removing shelves for proper fit. High-top boots may not fit vertically.

5. Setup and Placement

The Smart FENDEE shoe cabinet is designed for freestanding use in entryways, hallways, or other suitable areas. Ensure the chosen location is level and stable.

• Level Surface: Place the cabinet on a flat, level surface to prevent wobbling.

This shoe cabinet features tilt-out doors with adjustable shelves for versatile storage.

• Opening/Closing Doors: Gently pull the black handles to tilt open the compartments. Push them back firmly to close. The smooth mechanism ensures easy access.
• Adjusting Shelves: The internal shelves are adjustable to accommodate different shoe heights. To adjust, remove the shelf, reposition the support pins to the desired height, and reinsert the shelf.
• Boot Storage: For taller footwear like boots, one or more shelves can be removed to create a larger storage space. Refer to the capacity table for guidance.
• Top Surface Use: The spacious top surface can be used for organizing daily essentials such as keys, wallets, or decorative items. The anti-drop design helps prevent items from falling.
