How should I clean and maintain the cream finish?

Wipe the surfaces with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners, abrasive pads, or furniture polishes that contain silicone. Promptly clean any spills to prevent staining.

Can the drawers be removed from the chest?

What type of handles are used on this chest?

The chest features sophisticated brushed steel handles, which complement its elegant design.

Troubleshooting

Drawers are stiff or not closing smoothly.

Check that the drawer runners are correctly installed and aligned on both the drawer and the chest frame. Ensure all screws holding the runners are tight. A small amount of silicone lubricant applied to the runners can also improve glide.

The chest wobbles or feels unstable.

Verify that the chest is on a level surface. Check and tighten all assembly screws throughout the frame. If the floor is uneven, consider using furniture glides or small shims under the feet to stabilize it.

Minor scratches or blemishes on the surface.

For light scratches, a furniture repair pen or wax crayon matching the cream color can be used. For deeper damage, consult a professional furniture repair service.

One or more handles are loose.

Tighten the screws that attach the brushed steel handle to the drawer front from the inside of the drawer. Be careful not to overtighten, which could strip the wood.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

This chest of drawers typically requires self-assembly. It's recommended to have two people for assembly to ensure stability and ease of handling the larger components. Follow the included instructions carefully:

Unpack Components: Lay out all parts and hardware on a clean, soft surface to prevent scratches.
Assemble Frame: Construct the main chest frame according to the diagram, securing all panels with the provided hardware.
Install Drawer Runners: Attach the drawer runners to the inside of the chest frame and to the sides of each drawer.
Assemble Drawers: Build each drawer box, ensuring corners are square, and attach the base.
Insert Drawers: Carefully slide the assembled drawers onto their respective runners.
Attach Handles: Secure the brushed steel handles to the front of each drawer.
Leveling: Once assembled, place the chest in its desired location and check for stability. Adjust feet if available, or place shims under corners if needed to prevent wobbling.

Compatibility

The GFW Lancaster Cream Merchants Chest is designed to complement a wide range of bedroom styles. Its neutral cream color pairs well with both light and dark color schemes, and its shaker-inspired design integrates seamlessly into traditional, farmhouse, shabby chic, and even modern minimalist aesthetics. It's also available in Blue and Grey, offering options to match diverse interior palettes.

Care

Proper care will ensure the longevity and appearance of your chest of drawers:

Cleaning: Wipe surfaces regularly with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners, harsh chemicals, or polishes that contain silicone, as these can damage the finish.
Spills: Immediately wipe up any spills to prevent staining or water damage.
Protection: Use coasters or protective pads under items placed on top of the chest to prevent scratches or marks.
Sunlight: Avoid prolonged direct exposure to sunlight, which can cause the finish to fade over time.
Maintenance: Periodically check and tighten all screws and fittings to maintain structural integrity.
