Warning
Serious or fatal crushing injures can occur from furniture tipping over.
To prevent this furniture from tipping over it must be permanently fixed to the wall.
Wall fixing screws are not included, since different wall materials require different types of screws / fixing.
Please ensure you use the correct screws / fixing for your type of walls and seek professional advice if
you are not sure.
Failure of the product due to inncorrect fixings is the responsibility of the installer.
Important: When drilling into the walls always check that there are no hidden wires or pipes etc.
Type of walls
You can use one of the following types of wall plug if your walls are
made of brick, breezeblock, concrete, stone or wood.
1. General Purpose wall plug
Generally aerated blocks shoud not be used to support heavy loads, use
a specialist fitting in this case. For light loads, general - purpose wall
plugs can be used.
2. Plasterboard wall plug
For use when attaching light loads on to plasterboard partitions.
3. Cavity Fixing wall plug
For use with plasterboard partitions or hollow wooden doors.
4. Cavity Fixing - Heavy Duty wall plug
For use when fitting or supporting heavy loads such as shelving, wall
cabinets and coat racks.
5. Hammer Fixing wall plug
For use with walls stuck with plasterboard. The hammer fixxing allows
it to be fixed to the wall rather than the plasterboard. Always check the
fixing is secure to the retaining wall.
6. Shield Anchor wall plug - Heavy loads
For use with heavier loads such as 1V and Hi-Fi speakers and satellite
dishes etc.
Care and maintenance
Safety: Periodically check all fittings and wall fixings to ensure they
have not come loose and retighten as necessary.

Care guide
Care and maintenance
Wood furniture
Wood displays different grain patterns depending on which way they are cut - for example, the 'medullary
ray' which can appear on oak furniture is a mark of good quality timber - these are just characteristics of the
natural beauty of the wood. Some furniture is also deliberately aged and rustic.
Wood veneers also allow a distinctive pattern to be created on some surfaces, such as tabletops and drawer
fronts by the way slivers are arranged.
AII timber and veneer surfaces will change colour and mellow over time. New furniture will initially vary in
shade from items that have been previously purchased.
How to care for your wood furniture
Furniture with a hard lacquer, wax polish or painted surface should be dusted with a dry cloth.
Waxed furniture will need to be given a coat of beeswax a couple of times a year to help maintain its lustre.
Spray polishes are best avoided as they contain silicones which may spoil the furniture's surface when building
up over time.
Make sure all surfaces are protected from heat and liquids by mats and coasters. Wipe up spills immediately
and ensure that a mat or pad is placed under paper if you are writing.
Our furniture will endure most temperatures in the home, but it is best to avoid placing furniture next to
heat sources such as radiators or fires. Be particularly careful with solid wood as the lack of humidity caused
by home heating can cause damage such as warping.
Safety instructions
Never drag furniture when moving it, always lift it.
Periodically check all fixings to ensure none have come loose and retighten when necessary.
Please take care when handling or moving the furniture as careless handling may cause damage or injury.
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.
Your feedback is very important to us and we would love to hear your comments on your new furniture.
