This document is an assembly manual for the IKEA SUNDVIK changing table/chest of drawers.

Function Description:

The SUNDVIK is a versatile piece of furniture designed to function as both a changing table and a chest of drawers. It features a top surface that can be extended to create a changing area, and three drawers for storage. The changing table component is designed to be secured to the wall to prevent tip-over, ensuring safety during use. Once the child no longer needs a changing table, the top extension can be removed, transforming the unit into a standard chest of drawers. This adaptability makes it a long-lasting piece of furniture that grows with the child.

Important Technical Specifications:

The manual provides a detailed list of components and hardware required for assembly. Key hardware includes:

Dowel pins: Ø 5/16" (8 mm) and Ø 1/8" (3 mm)
Screws: Various types and sizes, including wood screws and specialized furniture screws.
Cam locks and cam dowels: Essential for connecting furniture panels securely.
Drawer slides: For smooth operation of the three storage drawers.
Anti-tip restraints: Crucial safety hardware for securing the unit to the wall. These include L-brackets, screws, and wall plugs suitable for various wall types (solid, hollow, and solid wood).
Knobs: For the drawers.

The assembly process involves multiple steps, indicating a multi-component structure. The unit is designed to be stable when assembled correctly and secured to the wall.

Usage Features:

Convertible design: Easily transitions from a changing table to a chest of drawers.
Storage: Three spacious drawers provide ample storage for baby essentials, clothing, or other items.
Safety warnings: The manual prominently features warnings about the risk of furniture tip-over, emphasizing the importance of securing the unit to the wall. It advises placing the heaviest items in the lowest drawer, not placing TVs or other heavy objects on top, and preventing children from climbing or hanging on drawers, doors, or shelves.
Drawer safety: The manual implicitly suggests a design that prevents multiple drawers from being opened simultaneously, a common safety feature in children's furniture to prevent tip-over.

Maintenance Features:

The manual does not explicitly detail maintenance features but implies standard furniture care. The use of durable materials and robust hardware suggests that the unit is designed for long-term use with proper assembly and care. Regular checks of the wall attachment and other hardware are recommended to ensure continued safety and stability. The anti-tip restraints are a critical maintenance feature, requiring periodic inspection to ensure they remain securely fastened to the wall and the furniture. The convertible nature of the product also means that as the child grows, the changing table top can be removed, simplifying the unit and potentially reducing wear and tear on that specific component.
