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 and 3 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.

area. This furniture contains small parts that could

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
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.
3. SHIELD ANCHOR
Wall Plug
Heavy loads
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
For use with plaster board
partitions or hollow wooden
doors.
6. HAMMER FIXING
Wall Plug
For use with walls stuck with
plaster board. The hammer
fixing allows it to be fixed to
the wall rather than the plaster
board. Always check the fixing
is secure to the retaining wall.
Care and
Maintenance
Safety
Always check the fitting and
location to ensure your safety in
and around the home.
Fitting
From time to time check the
fitting to ensure the wall plugs
or screws do not become loose.

Wood care advice
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 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.
