- Adult Assembly: Assembly must be carried out by a competent adult only.
- Damaged Components: Do not use the item if any components are missing or damaged.
- Fittings Safety: Keep all fittings out of children's reach and ensure children are kept well away from the construction area during assembly.
- Stable Surface: The product should only be used on a firm, level ground to prevent instability.
- Regular Checks: Periodically check all fittings and re-tighten them as necessary to maintain structural integrity.
- Weight Restrictions: Do not sit or stand on the furniture. This is a crucial safety warning to prevent injury and damage to the chest.
- Heat and Sunlight Exposure: Avoid exposing the furniture to excessive heat or direct sunlight, as this can cause deterioration of the color and material.
- Packaging Disposal: Unwrap all packaging materials and place the components on top of the carton box or on a clean floor to protect them from damage during assembly. The packaging itself is recommended to be used to protect surfaces during assembly.
Assembly and Usage Guidelines (Do's and Don'ts):
Do's:
- Read Instructions: Spend a short time reading through the assembly leaflet before starting.
- Prepare Workspace: Ensure you have the right tools and plenty of space before beginning assembly.
- Unpack Carefully: Unwrap all packaging materials and place components on a clean surface to protect them from damage.
- Check Parts: Carefully check that you have all the parts before starting assembly.
- Assemble in Intended Room: Due to the size of the product, it is recommended that it is assembled in the room where it will be used.
- Full Assembly: Ensure the product is fully assembled as illustrated and all fixings are fully tightened before use.
- Cleaning: Wipe occasionally with a soft cloth slightly dampened with water, then buff with a dry, clean soft cloth.
- Wood Mellowing: Wood will mellow and change color over time. To prevent uneven mellowing, it is recommended that ornaments and items placed on the surface are moved regularly for the first few months.
Don'ts:
- Dragging: Do not drag or pull your furniture, as this can damage the product or floor.
- Silicone Polish: Do not use silicone-based furniture polish, as silicone in furniture polishes can break down the finish.
- Liquid Exposure: Never allow any kind of liquid to remain on your furniture, as absorption can cause wood to warp or finishes to de-laminate.
- Hot Items: Do not place hot items (e.g., hot drinks) directly onto the wood surface. Always use a placemat or coaster.
