Function Description

The Merryfield 20 in. Linen Cabinet is a piece of furniture designed for storage, likely in a bathroom, bedroom, or living area, given its "linen cabinet" designation. It features a tall, slender design with a combination of open shelving, drawers, and a lower cabinet with a door, providing versatile storage options for various items. The cabinet is intended to be a freestanding unit, but it includes hardware for tip-over restraint to ensure safety, especially in households with children.

Important Technical Specifications

Product Dimensions: The "20 in." in the product name likely refers to its width, indicating a compact footprint suitable for smaller spaces.
Weight Limit: The product is designed to hold a maximum of 50 lbs. Exceeding this limit can damage the product and potentially cause injury.
Assembly: Adult assembly is required. The instructions emphasize the importance of installing tip-over restraints for safety.
Materials: While not explicitly detailed, the warnings regarding formaldehyde emissions (for California and Minnesota residents) suggest the use of engineered wood products or other materials that may contain formaldehyde.
Safety Features: Includes tip-over restraint hardware (brackets, strap, screws, plastic plug) to secure the cabinet to a wall, mitigating the risk of the cabinet tipping over.

Usage Features

Versatile Storage: The cabinet's design incorporates multiple storage types:
- Open Shelves: Ideal for displaying decorative items, frequently used essentials, or neatly folded linens.
- Drawers: Provide concealed storage for smaller items, maintaining a tidy appearance.
- Lower Cabinet with Door: Offers discreet storage for larger items or those that need to be kept out of sight.
Placement: Designed to be used on a flat, level surface. The assembly instructions advise checking for uneven floor or wall areas to prevent misalignment and twisting of the cabinet.
Aesthetic: The visual representation shows a classic, clean design that would complement various interior styles. The "DG" and "WT" in the model numbers likely refer to different color options, such as Dark Gray and White, offering choices to match different decor schemes.
Stability: The inclusion of leg levelers (mentioned in troubleshooting) suggests that the cabinet can be adjusted to compensate for minor unevenness in the floor, ensuring stability and proper door alignment.

Maintenance Features

Cleaning:
- Dusting: Recommended to dust frequently with a clean, soft, and dry cloth.
- Spill Management: Water or liquid spills should be wiped away immediately with a clean, soft, and dry cloth to prevent damage.
- Avoid Abrasive Cleansers: Using abrasive cleansers will damage the surface of the cabinet.
- Mild Soap and Warm Water: For spills, blot quickly and wash with mild soap and warm water.
Environmental Considerations:
- Sunlight Exposure: To maintain the furniture finish, direct sunlight should be avoided.
- Temperature Extremes: The cabinet should not be exposed to extreme temperatures, meaning it should be installed away from heat and air vents.
Troubleshooting: The manual includes a troubleshooting section for common issues:
- Uneven Gap Between Doors and Cabinet: This can be caused by an unlevel floor. The corrective actions are to adjust the leg levelers to ensure the cabinet is level and to adjust the door hinges.
Warranty: The product comes with a "Limited Lifetime Warranty" for the original consumer purchaser, covering defects in materials or workmanship. For industrial, commercial, or business usage, a five-year limited warranty applies. This indicates a commitment to product quality and durability.
