Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup Instructions

The Birlea Axel Sideboard is designed for home assembly. While detailed instructions are provided, here's a general overview:

1. Unpack Components: Carefully remove all parts from the packaging and lay them out on a clean, soft surface to prevent scratching. Verify all components and hardware are present against the parts list in the manual.
2. Assemble Frame: Follow the numbered steps in the manual to connect the side panels, bottom, and top pieces using the provided hardware (dowels, screws, cam locks).
3. Install Back Panel: Secure the back panel into place, typically using small nails or screws, to add stability and enclose the unit.
4. Attach Doors: Mount the two doors using the provided hinges, ensuring they are level and close smoothly. Adjust hinges as necessary for proper alignment.
5. Install Handles: Secure the handles to the doors.

*Tip*: Having a second person can significantly ease the assembly process, especially when handling larger panels or attaching doors.

Compatibility

This sideboard's sleek black finish and fluted design make it highly compatible with:

• Modern Interiors: Its clean lines and contemporary texture fit perfectly with minimalist or industrial decor.
• Transitional Styles: Can bridge the gap between traditional and modern elements.
• Scandinavian Designs: The simple form and dark tone can complement lighter wood tones and muted palettes.

Care & Maintenance

Proper care will ensure the longevity and appearance of your sideboard:

• Cleaning: Wipe surfaces regularly with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners, harsh chemicals, or polishes that contain silicone.
• Spills: Immediately wipe up any spills with a dry cloth to prevent liquid absorption and potential damage.
• Protection: Use coasters or mats under hot dishes, drinks, or decorative items to protect the surface from heat marks, moisture rings, and scratches.
• Sunlight: Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, which can cause fading or discoloration over time.
• Moving: When moving the sideboard, always lift it rather than dragging it to prevent stress on joints and potential damage to flooring.
