Furniture Safety and Use
Furniture Safety and Use
1. Safety First
Read the instructions, product-specific warnings, weight limits, and assembly information supplied with each furniture item. Product pages and included instructions may contain additional requirements that take priority over these general guidelines.
2. Assembly and Stability
Assemble furniture on a stable, level surface using the appropriate hardware and instructions. Do not use an item if essential parts are missing, fasteners are loose, or the structure appears unstable. Seek qualified help when assembly or installation is beyond your ability.
3. Tip-Over Prevention
Tall storage furniture, dressers, bookcases, and similar items can tip over. Use appropriate anti-tip restraints when supplied or required by the product instructions, and follow the mounting guidance for your wall type. Never allow children to climb or hang from furniture.
4. Weight and Intended Use
Follow the product-specific load capacity and intended-use instructions. Do not stand on tables, shelves, or furniture not designed as a step or ladder. Distribute weight evenly and avoid placing heavy objects where they create instability.
5. Placement and Care
Keep furniture away from excessive moisture, heat sources, and conditions that may weaken materials or finishes. Protect floors and ensure adequate clearance around moving parts, doors, and drawers.
6. Damaged or Unsafe Products
Stop using an item that appears structurally unsafe. Preserve relevant photographs and contact us with the product name and order number. We will review the report and any applicable safety or consumer remedy obligations.
7. Product-Specific Information
This general guide is not a certification, testing statement, or substitute for the warnings and instructions applicable to a specific product. For assistance, email decorio@homalixo.com or call +81 7092337850.
8. Bookcases, Hall Trees, and Storage Units
Tall bookcases and hall trees can pose tip-over risks. Follow the item-specific wall-anchoring instructions and use suitable wall fasteners. Keep heavy items low, do not overload shelves, and keep children from climbing storage units.
9. Chairs, Benches, and Moving Components
Use accent chairs, folding garden benches, storage ottomans, and adjustable craft tables only as intended. Check locking mechanisms, folding hinges, casters, rotating bases, and removable cushions before use. Do not exceed a load rating stated for the particular item.
10. Outdoor Structures and Garden Products
Awnings, arbors, trellises, raised beds, and storage sheds may require suitable site preparation and secure installation. Follow the specific installation and weather-use instructions. Do not assume an awning or freestanding structure is safe in high winds or severe weather.
11. Mirrors, Textiles, and Pet Furniture
Mount wall mirrors using hardware suitable for the wall and mirror weight. Keep cords and curtain materials away from children where relevant. For cat trees, check stability and scratching-post connections regularly and follow any pet-size or load guidance supplied with the item.
