Can I fit a different type of basin to this unit?
The unit is designed to integrate with the specific thin edge ceramic basin provided. Fitting a different basin may require significant modification and is not recommended.
What is the benefit of soft-close drawers?
Soft-close drawers prevent them from slamming shut, providing a quieter user experience, reducing wear and tear on the mechanism, and adding a touch of luxury.
Troubleshooting
Drawers not closing smoothly or sticking
Check for any obstructions in the drawer runners. Ensure the unit is level and not racking. Lightly lubricate the drawer runners if necessary, following manufacturer guidelines.
Water pooling in the basin or not draining effectively
Ensure the slotted basin waste is correctly installed and not blocked. Check the U-bend and trap under the basin for blockages. Ensure the overflow is clear of debris.
Gloss finish appears dull or has streaks
Use a dedicated gloss furniture cleaner or a soft, damp cloth with a mild detergent. Avoid abrasive pads or harsh chemical cleaners. Always dry the surface thoroughly after cleaning.
Unit feels unstable
Confirm the unit is on a level floor. If wall fixing is part of the installation, ensure it is securely fastened to the wall studs or appropriate wall fixings.
