Thank you
Dear Customer
Thank you for purchasing your new piece of furniture from Dunelm. We put a lot of effort in the
design and construction of our products to ensure they set the standard for quality, durability and
ease of assembly.
If for any reason you feel we haven’t lived up to the high standards we set ourselves, please don’t
hesitate in contacting us on 03451 656565 where our team will be very keen to understand what
has gone wrong and, more importantly, put it right.
The next step...
There is no need to feel daunted by the number of
parts and fitting sin front of you, we have compiled
this straight forward, step-by-step guide to make sure
that assembling your furniture is as easy as 1, 2, 3.
Before you begin, we advise that you check that you
have everything you need to get started.
Top tip
Find a space to spread everything out across the
floor before you begin assembling the item. Lay
each panel down on a clean and level area, ideally
in the room of intended use, ensuring there is
enough room to manoeuvre around the item. It
is recommended that two people assemble this
product together. The full list of furniture parts,
fixtures and fittings, as well as the tools you will need
for assembly can be found on page 2 of this manual.
Top tip
Identify all of the fittings, make sure that you have
them all prepared and familiarise yourself with each
component, to make things easier when you are
putting it all together.
Safety and care advice
IMPORTANT - The first step you need to take is to
ensure your safety! Please take the time to read and
understand these instructions before assembling
your furniture.
Please keep these instructions for future reference.
Keep children and animals away from the assembly
area. This furniture contains small parts that could
cause choking if swallowed.
Keep all plastic wrapping materials away from babies
and children to avoid danger of suffocation.
Ensure that all packaging is disposed of carefully
and responsibly.
From time to time check that there are no loose
fittings on the unit, re-tighten when necessary.
Two people may be required for the assembly of
this product.
Once items are part or fully assembled they are not
returnable unless faulty.
This item is not for outdoor use –unless stated
otherwise.
Some items will be supplied with a wall fixing strap,
which we recommend is used to secure the item
to the wall, to prevent a child from accidentally
pulling furniture over. Furniture can be dangerous if
incorrectly installed. Assembly should be carried out
by a competent person. No liability will be accepted
for damage or injury caused by incorrectly installed
or assembled furniture.

Wall fixings
Step by step
Important
When drilling into walls always check there are no hidden wires or pipes
etc. Make sure that the screws and wall plugs being used are suitable for
supporting your unit. Consult a qualified tradesperson if you are unsure.
Hints
1. General Rule; Always use a larger screw and wall plug if you are not sure.
2. Ensure you use the recommended drill bit to match the wall plug and hole size.
3. Ensure you drill the hole horizontally, do not force the drill or enlarge the hole.
4. Take extra care when drilling high walls, ceilings and ceramic tiles. Ensure the plug is fitting below the
ceramic title to avoid splitting or cracking.
5. Ensure wall plugs are well fitted and are a tight fit in the drilled hole.
Types of Walls
You can use one of the following
types of wall plug if your walls
are made of brick, breeze
block, concrete, stone, wood
or plastic board.
1. STANDARD Wall Plug
General wall materials
These come in various sizes
and are made from plastic or
sometimes wood fibre.
2. GENERAL PURPOSE

not be used to support heavy loads,
use a specialist fitting in this case.

Glass care advise
Regular glass care advise
Do not use glass as a chopping board.
Do not use very hot or very cold items on the
glass unless adequate table mats are used to
prevent such items coming into direct contact
with the furniture.
Do not strike the glass with hard or pointed items.
Do not use abrasive cleaners on the glass as these may
scratch and damage the glass.
To clean your item, please use a soft cloth slightly
dampened with water and wipe clean.
Then buff with a dry clean cloth. Use washing
up liquid if necessary.
If the glass is chipped or broken, stop using
the product and consult Dunelm.

Wood care advise
Wood care advise
Wood is a natural product and each piece is
individual.
As a natural product, wood is affected by
temperature and humidity. We recommend that
you avoid placing the furniture directly in front of
heat sources such as radiators or fires as this can
cause cracking or warping over time.
The colour will mellow over time and new items
can vary in shade from items that you have already
purchased.
Strong direct sunlight can affect the colour
dramatically, so try to avoid this as much as
possible, we also recommend that any ornaments,
coasters and items placed on the product are
periodically moved around to allow the colour to
mellow evenly.
Always use matts and coasters to protect the
surface when placing items on the furniture. This
will help to protect the finish from heat, liquids or
items that might scratch your furniture.
If items are to be placed on the surface of your
furniture and have rubber feet, it is advisable to
use mats to prevent marking.
Always lift your furniture into place, avoid
dragging it across the floor as this can cause
damage to joints.
When placing furniture on a wooden or laminate
floor, please ensure that the plastic or felt
protectors are securely fitted and in place.
Only clean using a damp cloth and mild detergent,
do not use bleach or abrasive cleaners.
From time to time check that there are no loose
screws on this unit.
Remove any spills immediately to avoid staining.
Dust regularly with a soft lint free cloth or duster.
The use of abrasive polish or silicon based polishes is
not advised as these can affect the polished finish and
joints over time.
Uneven floors could give the impression that doors
of wall units and wardrobes are out of alignment.
Be aware of this and compensate if necessary by
adjusting the hinges or packing a corner to level the
item. Please refer to the instructions, included with
your furniture, and adjust accordingly.
If your furniture becomes stained, scratched, chipped
or suffers other damage, we recommend professional
help is sought to restore it. Please contact our
customer services line for recommended agents.
Always follow fitting instructions carefully and retain
them for future use.
Finally, we hope you enjoy your
furniture for many years to come
and thanks again for your
purchase.
