The document describes the "LOREN MIRRORED STORAGE CABINET" from Frontgate, identified by item number 163359. This is a tall, mirrored storage cabinet designed for residential use, as explicitly stated that "PRODUCTS ARE NOT INTENDED FOR COMMERCIAL USE." The cabinet features a mirrored front, suggesting it can serve both as a functional storage unit and a decorative element, potentially reflecting light and making a room appear larger.
Important Technical Specifications:
- Dimensions (Assembled): 82"H x 48 1/8"W x 8 3/4"D. These dimensions indicate a substantial, tall, and relatively shallow cabinet, suitable for placement against a wall without protruding too much into the room.
- Hardware Included: The cabinet comes with various hardware components for assembly and installation. These include:
- Shelf Supports (A): 2 units
- Long Screws (B): 8 units
- Small Screws (C): 8 units
- L-Brackets (D): 2 units
- Components Included:
- Glass Shelf (E): 1 unit
- Neck Forms (F): 3 units. These "Neck Forms" are depicted as decorative stands, likely for displaying jewelry or other small items on the glass shelf.
- LED Light Replacement: The cabinet is equipped with LED lighting. For replacement, it requires a "Halogen JCD G8 120V 25W Replacement LED Light," which is "NOT INCLUDED" with the product. This indicates that the original lighting is halogen-based, but the replacement is specified as an LED equivalent, suggesting an energy-efficient upgrade option.
Usage Features:
- Assembly Requirements: Assembly "requires 2 or more people," indicating that it's a large and potentially heavy item that needs assistance for safe handling and installation. Basic tools required are a screwdriver, with a power drill suggested for efficiency.
- Internal Storage: The interior of the cabinet features multiple shelves and compartments. The inclusion of a glass shelf (E) and "Neck Forms" (F) suggests it's designed for displaying and organizing items like jewelry, perfumes, or other decorative objects. The diagrams show several fixed shelves and what appear to be slots for additional items, possibly bottles or small boxes.
- Leveling: The cabinet includes adjustable levelers on the bottom. "If the Mirrored Storage Cabinet are uneven, adjust the levelers on the bottom" to ensure stability and proper alignment on various floor surfaces.
- Wall Mounting (Crucial Safety Feature): The cabinet must be secured to a wall stud using the provided L-Brackets (D) and screws. This is explicitly stated as "REQUIRED before any use of the product for customer safety." The installation process involves:
- Centering the cabinet in front of two wall studs and marking the wall.
- Sliding the L-Brackets (D) over the top corners of the cabinet and marking the wall again. It's important to position the brackets so they are hidden.
- Pulling the cabinet away from the wall and attaching the L-Brackets (D) to the wall studs using the Long Screws (B).
- Sliding the cabinet back underneath the installed L-Brackets (D) and attaching the L-Brackets (D) to the cabinet using the Small Screws (C). A note clarifies that if the wall's base molding prevents the L-brackets from sitting completely on the cabinet's top, only screw into the bracket holes that are fully on the cabinet top. This detailed instruction highlights the importance of secure wall attachment for safety.
- LED Lighting: The cabinet incorporates LED lighting, which enhances visibility of the stored items and adds to the aesthetic appeal. The manual provides instructions for replacing these lights.
Maintenance Features:
- Cleaning: For cleaning the cabinet, the instructions advise: "To clean, wipe the Fixture with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid the use of harsh or abrasive chemicals as they may damage the finish."
- Mirrored Surface Care: Specific care instructions are provided for the mirrored surfaces: "Never spray any cleaner directly on the glass or mirror surface. Unless you can guarantee that the cleaner does not run behind the glass or mirror over a seam where it can get behind the glass or mirror and deteriorate the backing or ruin the wood finish. Most glass or mirror cleaner will run down the glass and penetrate the seams and edges damaging the backing." This emphasizes the delicate nature of the mirrored finish and the importance of careful cleaning to prevent damage to the backing and wood finish.
- LED Light Replacement Procedure: The manual details a multi-step process for replacing the LED lights:
- Unplug the unit from the wall.
- Remove all screws and the top of the cabinet using a screwdriver.
- Unscrew the 3 LED lights and the kit box from inside the top placement.
- Before removing electrical cords, note their routing ("recover route").
- Carefully remove the entire LED light kits from the cabinet.
- Replace with new LED light kits by reversing steps 1-3, ensuring all screws are properly tightened. This process requires some disassembly of the cabinet's top section.
