Overview

This document provides instructions for assembling and maintaining the Ocean Tallboy, a furniture product designed for storage. The tallboy features multiple drawers and is intended for use in a child's room or similar setting, emphasizing safety and stability.

Function Description

The Ocean Tallboy is a storage unit designed to hold various items, primarily through its multiple drawers. It serves as a functional piece of furniture, helping to organize and declutter spaces. The tallboy's design, with its vertical orientation and stacked drawers, maximizes storage capacity while occupying a minimal footprint. It is suitable for storing clothing, toys, books, or other personal belongings. The product is designed to be assembled by two people, highlighting the importance of proper construction for stability and safety.

Usage Features

The tallboy is designed for straightforward assembly, with clear, step-by-step instructions provided. Users are advised to keep all packaging until assembly is complete to ensure all components and fittings are present. In case of damaged or missing items, contact information for customer service is provided.

Assembly Process: The assembly begins by attaching ten drawer runners to the left and right side panels using twenty runner screws and an X-head screwdriver. It's crucial to correctly orient the five left and five right-hand runners as shown in the diagrams.

Next, the bottom front rail is attached to the right side panel. This involves slotting a bolt through a rail insert and into the recess of the bottom front rail (which has a badge on it). The rail is then slotted onto the right side panel, and the bolt is tightened using an Allen key.

Subsequent steps involve attaching the remaining rails and the top front rail to the side panels using bolts and rail inserts, tightening them with the Allen key. During this process, it's important to ensure that the groove in the back panel is aligned with the groove back leg of the side panel for proper fit and stability.

The back panel is then slotted into the grooves of the top and bottom back rails and slid down into the groove of the side panel. With the assistance of another person, the right side panel is slotted onto the assembled section. The rails are then fastened to the right side panel using five bolts and inserts, tightened with the Allen key.

Once the main structure is assembled, the tallboy is lifted upright by two people. Four cam studs are screwed into the top panel using an X-head screwdriver. The top panel is then slotted onto the assembled sections, and four cams are inserted into the holes in the side panels, turned clockwise with a screwdriver to lock them in place.

The drawer fronts are prepared by screwing cam studs into the top drawer front and the four other drawer fronts using an X-head screwdriver. The left and right drawer sides are then slotted onto the drawer fronts. Twenty cams are inserted into the holes in the drawer sides and turned clockwise with a screwdriver to lock them.

The five base panels are slotted into the grooves in the drawer sides and pushed along the grooves into the drawer front. Finally, the drawer backs are slotted onto the assembled sections, and twenty long screws are inserted into the holes in the drawer sides, tightened into the drawer backs using an X-head screwdriver. At this point, all five drawers are fully assembled.

To integrate the drawers into the tallboy, the drawer runners inside the tallboy are extended, and the drawers are lowered onto them. The drawers are slid backward, ensuring the hooks on the back of the runner slot into the holes in the back of the drawers. The pins on the front of the runners are then slotted into the holes on the undersides of the drawer sides. The drawers are then slid into the tallboy.

Wall Strap Information: A wall strap is provided to enhance stability and prevent the tallboy from tipping over. This strap is specifically designed for use with this Mamas & Papas product and should not be modified or replaced with other fittings. While the strap is attached to the furniture, wall attachment fittings are not supplied because the type of fittings required depends on the wall's composition. Users are advised to consult a professional if unsure about the correct wall fittings. The wall strap is not a substitute for other furniture fittings. The manual notes that furniture tipping is often due to uneven surfaces like warped floors or wall-to-wall carpeting, which can cause rocking. While a flat, level wood or tiled floor reduces this risk, fitting the wall strap is still recommended.

Safety Instructions:

  • WARNING: Children should not be left unattended near the tallboy.
  • Ensure the tallboy is on a stable, level surface before use.
  • Children should not be allowed to climb on the tallboy.
  • Do not use the tallboy if any parts are broken or missing.
  • The tallboy should always be lifted by at least two people when moved; it should not be pivoted or dragged.
  • Keep the tallboy away from open fires or other strong heat sources (e.g., electric or gas fires).

Maintenance Features

Regular maintenance is crucial for the longevity and safety of the Ocean Tallboy.

Cleaning:

  • Always keep the tallboy clean and dry.
  • Wipe away any spills immediately.
  • Clean the tallboy with a damp cloth.
  • Avoid using abrasive cleaners, bleach, or strong detergents, as these can damage the finish.

Structural Integrity:

  • Regularly check that all fittings and screws are correctly tightened.
  • Inspect for any damage to the components. Loose screws can pose a risk of pinching body parts or clothing, potentially leading to strangulation.
