BEFORE YOU START
If you are connecting multiple base units and top units together, we strongly advise to unpack all
items and place them where you intend to position/fit them BEFORE you commence any assembly
steps. This will allow you to check that the items fit in your space and also check for any problematic
wall fixing positions, e.g. avoiding wiring and pipes etc. We also recommend you make note or mark
which side panels for each base unit will be connecting to a neighbouring base unit.

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 support-
ing 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
6. HAMMER FIXING Wall Plug3. SHIELD ANCHOR Wall Plug
Heavy loads
These come in various sizes
and are made from plastic or
sometimes wood fibre.
2. GENERAL PURPOSE Wall
Plug
Aerated/Breeze block
Generally aerated blocks should
not be used to support heavy
loads, use a specialist fitting in
this case. For light loads, a
General Purpose Plug can be
used.
For use with heavier loads such as
TV & Hi-fi Speakers and Satellite
Dishes etc.
4. CAVITY FIXING Wall Plug
For use with plaster board
partitions or hollow wooden
doors.
5. CAVITY FIXING HEAVY DUTY
Wall Plug

to the retaining wall.
Care and Maintenance
Safety

location to ensure your safety in
and around the home.

Wood Care Advice
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 or in humid areas such as bathrooms or next to bathrooms 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 pur-
chased. 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 mats 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. Additionally, if writing
on your product, use a mat or pad so protect the surface. 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.
Avoid rocking backwards on two legs of the chair as this will weaken the joints
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.
Wood can absorb liquids, for this reason, remove any spills immediately to avoid staining.
When mopping the floor around where your chairs and stools are placed avoid getting the legs wet.
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. Ensure the polish you are using is correct for your product as some polishes can
degrade protective layers on furniture. Ensure you patch test a polish or cleaning product on a discrete
area before applying it to the whole product.
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 profes-
sional 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.

Caring for your Furniture
To keep your new item looking its best, we recommend you dust regularly and wipe clean with a damp
cloth, ensuring any spills are removed immediately.
If using a polish to maintain your product, ensure the polish you are using is correct for your product and
always do a patch test of polish or cleaning product on a discrete area before applying it to the whole
product.
1. To ensure colour consistency, if you’re using more than one tin of any colour, check the
batch numbers are the same. If they’re not, thoroughly mix the contents of both tins
together before you start.
Now prepare your surface. Remove any sharp edges or flaking paint with fine sandpaper.
There’s no need to go back to bare wood, just sand enough to create a smooth surface.
Then wipe away any dust with a dry cloth so it doesn’t spoil the final finish.
2.
If there are any sections of the furniture which do not require painting, for example oak
surfaces, we recommend these are taped off to prevent any splashes or wobbly lines.
3.
If the wood has any cracks or dents, buy some wood filler and patch it, following the
instructions on the packaging. Once it’s set, be sure to sand it again so the entire surface
is uniform.
4.
Purchasing a high-quality specialist furniture paint is always recommended. It is always
vital to follow the instructions on the packaging to achieve the desired finished.
5.
If, in many years to come, you’d like to repaint your furniture, you absolutely can. For best results, we
suggest following the steps below put together by our furniture team.
We recommend that our oak finishes shouldn’t be re-treated. The reason being that the oak veneers
shouldn’t be sanded, and achieving the same level of finish is almost impossible to recreate.
