FAQs
What material is the Bergen Three Tier Shoe Cabinet made from?
Info needed: Specific material composition (e.g., MDF, particle board, solid wood). Generally, GFW products use engineered wood with a durable finish.
How many pairs of shoes can this cabinet hold?
The cabinet features three tiers, each capable of holding multiple pairs of shoes. Exact capacity depends on shoe size and type, but typically 6-9 pairs for adult shoes.
What tools are required for assembly?
Common household tools such as a Phillips head screwdriver and a hammer are typically needed. All necessary hardware is included.
Is the cabinet easy to clean?

Can I wall-mount the Bergen shoe cabinet?
The product description does not specify wall-mounting capabilities. It is designed as a freestanding unit. If wall-anchoring hardware is included, it is for anti-tip safety, not structural wall-mounting.

Troubleshooting
Missing parts or hardware during assembly
Carefully check all packaging materials. If parts are genuinely missing, contact GFW customer service with your product model and part number from the manual.
Difficulty assembling the cabinet
Review the assembly manual step-by-step. Ensure all pieces are oriented correctly according to diagrams. Do not force components; if something doesn't fit, recheck the instructions for a common error.
Cabinet feels wobbly or unstable after assembly
Ensure all screws, cams, and dowels are fully tightened. Verify that the cabinet is placed on a flat, level surface. Some units may include wall-anchoring hardware for added stability; consider installing it if applicable.
Shoes do not fit properly into the tiers
The tiers are designed for standard footwear. For larger or taller boots, you might need to store them at an angle or consider alternative storage for specific shoe types.
