3. Setup and Assembly
Your NOVAMAISON Shoe Cabinet requires assembly. All necessary parts and clear instructions are included to facilitate a straightforward setup process. It is recommended to assemble the cabinet in the room where it will be used.
3.1 Unpacking and Preparation
- Carefully unpack all components and hardware from the packaging.
- Verify that all parts are present and undamaged by comparing them against the parts list in the included assembly guide.
- Lay out all components on a clean, soft surface (e.g., a blanket or carpet) to prevent scratches during assembly.
3.2 Assembly Steps
Follow the step-by-step instructions provided in the separate assembly manual included with your product. Ensure all screws and fasteners are tightened securely, but avoid overtightening to prevent damage to the engineered wood.
3.3 Anti-Tip Device Installation

4. Operating Instructions
The NOVAMAISON Shoe Cabinet is designed for convenient and organized shoe storage.
4.1 Using the Flip Drawers
- To open a drawer, gently pull the metal handle located on the front of the drawer. The drawer will flip down, revealing the shoe storage compartments.
- To close a drawer, push it upwards until it securely latches into place.
4.2 Adjusting Storage Space
Each flip drawer features two layers of storage with an adjustable and removable panel. This allows you to customize the interior space to accommodate various shoe sizes and types.
- For smaller shoes (flats, sneakers): Keep both panels in place to maximize the number of shoes stored.
- For larger shoes (heels, mid-boots): Remove the upper panel to create a taller compartment. This allows shoes to stand upright or at a less acute angle.
- To remove a panel, gently lift it from its supports. To re-insert, align it with the desired support slots and press down until secure.

5. Maintenance
Proper care and maintenance will ensure the longevity and appearance of your shoe cabinet.
- Cleaning: Wipe the cabinet surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or excessive moisture, as these can damage the finish.
- Dusting: Regularly dust the cabinet with a dry, soft cloth to prevent dust buildup.
- Spills: Immediately wipe up any spills to prevent staining or water damage.
- Inspection: Periodically check all fasteners and connections to ensure they remain tight. Retighten if necessary, but do not overtighten.
- Sunlight: Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, which can cause fading or discoloration of the wood finish.
6. Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your NOVAMAISON Shoe Cabinet, refer to the following common solutions:
- Wobbly Cabinet: Ensure all assembly screws are tightened. Verify that the cabinet is placed on a level surface. If necessary, use shims under the legs to stabilize. Confirm the anti-tip device is securely installed.
- Drawers Not Closing Smoothly: Check for any obstructions inside the drawer compartments. Ensure the drawer mechanism is free of debris. Verify that the drawer slides are correctly aligned and lubricated if needed.
- Difficulty Fitting Shoes: Ensure the adjustable panels are configured correctly for the shoe type. Remove panels for taller footwear as needed. Avoid forcing shoes into compartments.
- Missing Parts or Damaged Components: If you find any parts missing or damaged upon unpacking, please contact NOVAMAISON customer support immediately for assistance.
