This document provides assembly instructions and guidelines for the LEEB3B furniture item, which appears to be a chest of drawers or a similar storage unit. The assembly process is broken down into 19 steps, with detailed illustrations and a comprehensive list of parts and hardware.

Function Description:

The LEEB3B is a multi-drawer storage unit designed to organize and store various items. It features multiple drawers, likely five based on the illustrations, providing ample space for clothing, accessories, or other household goods. The unit is designed to be a freestanding piece of furniture, with legs providing elevation and stability. A key safety feature is the inclusion of an anti-tip restraint, emphasizing the importance of securing the unit to a wall to prevent serious injury from tipping over, especially in households with children. The drawers are equipped with runners to facilitate smooth opening and closing, and a drawer stop mechanism is incorporated to prevent drawers from being pulled out completely.

Usage Features:

The assembly instructions highlight several important usage features and safety recommendations:

Stability and Anti-Tip Restraint: The manual strongly advises installing the provided tipover restraint. This is a critical safety feature, particularly for children, to prevent the unit from tipping over. Users are warned against placing TVs on the product, allowing children to climb or hang on drawers/shelves, and opening more than one drawer at a time. Heaviest items should always be placed in the lowest drawers to improve stability.
Drawer Functionality: The drawers are designed with runners for smooth operation. A drawer stop mechanism, implemented by inserting a wood dowel (B) into part (13), ensures that drawers do not accidentally slide out completely when opened. This enhances safety and prevents contents from spilling.
General Assembly Guidelines: The manual recommends two people for assembly, indicating that the unit might be large or heavy. It also specifies that power tools should not be used for assembly, suggesting that manual tools like a Phillips head screwdriver and a hammer are sufficient and safer for the materials involved. This prevents overtightening or damage to the components.
Hardware and Components: The unit utilizes various hardware types, including wood dowels, screws, and bolts. Wood dowels are secured with glue, ensuring a strong and lasting connection between parts. The handles (J) are attached to the drawer fronts, providing a convenient way to open and close the drawers. The back panel (14) is secured with screws, contributing to the structural integrity of the unit. Metal corners (O) are used to reinforce critical joints, further enhancing durability.

Maintenance Features:

The manual includes a "Maintenance Guide" specifically for the drawers, focusing on ensuring long-term performance and smooth operation:

Drawer Glide Maintenance: To maintain the performance and easy gliding of the solid wood drawers, it is recommended to apply wax to the wooden guide rails. This addresses potential friction points where wood-on-wood contact occurs during drawer operation.
Wax Application: Bee's wax or paraffin wax from a standard candle can be used. The wax should be rubbed directly onto the wooden guide rails, specifically where contact happens when opening and closing the drawer. It's important that the wax is at room temperature and not melted onto the wood, as this could lead to uneven application or residue buildup.
Application Frequency: For the first year, wax should be applied every few months. After the initial year, application can be done as needed to keep the drawers sliding smoothly. This regular maintenance helps prevent sticking, reduces wear and tear on the wooden components, and ensures a consistent user experience over time.

In summary, the LEEB3B is a functional and practical storage solution with a strong emphasis on safety through its anti-tip restraint system. Its design incorporates features for smooth drawer operation, and the provided maintenance guidelines ensure the longevity and continued performance of the unit.
