When it may not be suitable

How to use
Place the cabinet on a level, stable floor surface and, if used as a support for a worktop or sink, ensure compatibility and secure attachment according to the worktop or sink manufacturer instructions. Use the interior shelving and compartments to organise cookware, plates and pantry items by frequency of use. Clean the exterior surface with a soft cloth and mild detergent; avoid abrasive cleaners or excessive moisture. If assembly is required, follow the supplied instructions and tighten fastenings to ensure stability.
What to consider before purchase
- Confirm the cabinet dimensions and available kitchen space to ensure proper fit and clearance.
- Check whether a worktop or sink will be installed on top and verify compatibility and load capacity.
- Consider whether a freestanding unit meets your needs versus a built-in or custom cabinet solution.
- Plan for delivery access and assembly requirements in your kitchen area.
Usage recommendations
Use the cabinet on a dry, level surface and distribute stored items evenly to maintain stability. Protect the top surface from prolonged exposure to water and heat by using cutting boards, trivets and waterproof seals where a sink or hot appliances are installed. Periodically check and retighten fittings if the unit is moved or loaded heavily.
