FAQs
What are the dimensions of the unit?
The unit measures 95.3cm in height, 88.8cm in width, and 28.5cm in depth.
Are the fabric drawers included?
Yes, the unit comes with six non-woven fabric bin inserts.
Can I use the unit without the fabric drawers?
Yes, you can leave the cubes open for a different look or to store larger items.
Is the unit wall-mountable?
It is designed as a freestanding unit. If you have concerns about tipping, especially in homes with small children, consider using a separate furniture anchor strap.
Can I fit standard-sized vinyl records in the cubes?
While the cubes are spacious, please measure the depth of your records against the 28.5cm depth of the unit to ensure they fit comfortably.
Troubleshooting
Unit feels wobbly after assembly
Check all screws and cam locks to ensure they are fully tightened. Ensure the floor is level; if not, use furniture pads under the feet to adjust.
Fabric drawers are difficult to slide
Ensure the internal shelf dividers are aligned correctly and not bowed. Check that no debris is trapped in the cube corners.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Assembly: Ensure you have a clear floor space to assemble the unit. Follow the included instructions, ensuring all cam locks and screws are tightened appropriately to maintain structural integrity.
Care and Maintenance:
- To clean the wooden frame, use a soft, dry cloth; avoid harsh chemicals or excessive moisture which may damage the finish.
- The non-woven fabric bins can be spot-cleaned with a gentle, slightly damp cloth if needed. Do not submerge them in water or place them in a washing machine.
- Ensure the weight is distributed evenly across the shelving, placing heavier items on the bottom levels to keep the center of gravity low.
