Usage Features:

The Chelmsford Storage Console is designed for self-assembly, with detailed instructions provided to guide the user.

Assembly Process: The assembly begins by attaching the feet to the bottom panel. Subsequently, cam-bolts and cam-locks are used to connect the various cross and facing panels, forming the main structure. The top panel is then secured using cam-bolts and cam-locks.
Door Installation: The doors are installed using hinges, and knobs are attached for easy opening. Small magnets and female magnets are used to ensure the doors close securely.
Support Structures: Long and short support pieces are integrated into the console's structure to enhance stability.
Wicker Baskets: The console features dedicated compartments for wicker baskets. The wicker bottoms are attached to the wicker frames, and these completed baskets are then inserted into their designated slots, providing an additional layer of organized storage.
Finishing Touches: Cotton mats are provided to cover exposed cam-locks, contributing to a clean and finished appearance.

Maintenance Features:

The manual provides specific care and cleaning instructions to ensure the longevity and appearance of the console:

Initial Cleaning: Before initial use, it is recommended to wipe the furniture with a clean, dry cloth.
Regular Maintenance: Periodically, furniture wax should be applied to renew the finish. This helps to maintain the console's luster and protect the surface.
Surface Protection: Users are advised to avoid rubbing or scratching the surface with rough or abrasive objects to prevent damage to the espresso finish.

Important Assembly Notes:

Hardware Check: Before assembly, users are instructed to review all parts and hardware to ensure nothing is missing. In case of missing hardware, customer service should be contacted.
Screw Length: A critical warning is issued regarding screw length: "Using a screw that is too long will cause damage." Users are advised to separate each type of screw and carefully study the screw diagrams.
Over-tightening: A prominent instruction states, "PLEASE DO NOT OVER-TIGHTEN CAMBOLTS. PLEASE STOP WHEN YOU FEEL TIGHT." This prevents damage to the cam-bolts and panels.
Surface Protection during Assembly: To prevent scratching, users are advised to unpack and lay parts on a clean, padded surface, such as carpet or a blanket, during assembly.
Tool Requirement: A No.2 Phillips Screwdriver (Not Included) is required for assembly.
