Freestanding Furniture Safety Guide
Naked Kitchens is committed to the safety of your home and family. Freestanding furniture can bring style and flexibility, but like any large item, it's essential to use it safely and responsibly. Please review these important safety tips before installing or using our products.
Anchor It- Please wall-fix all units, especially for homes with children. If you need more fixings or guidance on this, please contact us.
Prevent Climbing- Never let children climb on doors, drawers or shelves.
Secure All Tall Furniture- Always anchor wardrobes, dressers, and bookcases to the wall using suitable fixings. Freestanding furniture is at risk of tipping, especially if loaded unevenly or climbed on.
Load Wisely- Place heavier items in lower drawers or shelves to lower the centre of gravity and make units more stable.
Don't Overload- Avoid exceeding the recommended weight limits for shelves and drawers. This prevents both tip-overs and damage.
Even Surfaces- Ensure furniture sits flat and level. Use the provided adjustable feet as needed.
Move With Care- If you need to relocate a unit, empty it first and always lift rather than drag.
Keep Clear Of Sockets- Don't block power outlets with large items. Ensure cords and plugs are accessible and not pinched behind furniture.
Don't Modify- Never drill or alter furniture to run cables unless you're sure it won't affect structural integrity or safety.
Integrated Lighting- Only use manufacturer-approved lighting and follow all installation instructions. Check that any built-in lights have enough ventilation.
Keep Away From Heat Sources- Maintain safe distance between furniture and radiators, heaters, open flames, or stoves.
