Product Information

The Artisan / Holden / Stratford Low Storage Cabinet is a
high-quality piece of furniture designed for indoor use. It comes
with a product warranty that can be easily registered on the Simpli
Home website. The product is manufactured by Simpli Home, a top
brand for high-value furniture in America. The cabinet is model
number AXCART14-HIC and may require two people for ease of
assembly. The furniture response to relative humidity changes, and
it’s advisable to keep the relative humidity in the space where
your furniture is as close to the annual average as possible,
generally within about 10% up or down.

Product Usage Instructions

1. Ensure that you have all the parts listed in the pre-assembly
   information section before starting the assembly.
2. Read through the assembly instructions carefully before
   beginning the assembly process.
3. Use the required tools listed in the pre-assembly information
   section, including a flathead screwdriver, Phillips screwdriver,
   and rubber mallet (not included).
4. Follow the key diagram in the components section to identify
   the different parts of the cabinet.
5. Assemble the cabinet according to the instructions provided,
   ensuring that you follow each step carefully and in sequence.
6. After assembly, place the cabinet in an appropriate location
   indoors and ensure that it is stable and secure.
7. For care and maintenance, determine the annual average relative
   humidity for your space and try to keep the humidity as close to
   that average as possible, generally within about 10% up or down.
   De-humidify in the summer and humidify in the winter. Furniture
   that is sealed and lacquered will lose moisture more slowly than an
   unfinished piece while pieces with veneer finishes are not only
   stronger but lose moisture more slowly than other finishes.

Care & Maintenance
This furniture is designed for indoor use.
Perhaps the greatest environmental damage to wood furniture comes from wide swings in relative humidity (RH) in our homes. Wood absorbs and desorbs water as relative humidity rises and falls, and in doing so it swells and shrinks. Making matters worse, it expands and contracts unequally along different grain directions. As humidity changes, the components of wooden objects are continually pushing and pulling against each other. This pressure often results in parts of furniture no longer fitting together closely or becoming distorted or breaking from their own internal stresses.
The response to relative humidity changes begins with determining the annual average RH for your particular space. Then try to keep the RH in the space where your furniture is as close to that average as possible, generally within about 10% up or down. De-humidify in the summer and humidify in the winter.
Be aware that raising the temperature lowers the humidity and vice versa. Thus, modern heating systems, which can drive down interior RH in the winter, almost invariably cause problems for furniture. To counteract their effect, you can either modify the RH by keeping furniture containing spaces cooler in the winter or most importantly, have a good working humidifier for your home. A humidistat automatically works to balance the humidity in your home so it is constant. Dry indoor air can suck enough moisture from its surroundings to do permanent damage to wood, causing it to crack or split.
Remember, that not all woods are created equal. Two factors that help determine how rapidly a wood will lose moisture are pore size and surface hardness. A piece made from a dense and hard wood will dry less rapidly than pieces made from softer woods.
Furniture that is sealed and lacquered will lose moisture more slowly than an unfinished piece while pieces with veneer finishes are not only stronger but lose moisture more slowly than other finishes.
To help protect your wood furniture, take these steps: · Use a humidifier, preferably one with an automatic control system that can sense the
humidity level and adjust itself accordingly · Don’t over-humidify; that can damage wood by causing it to expand and contract · Keep furniture out of direct sunlight, which can cause it to dry out, crack and warp · If you can avoid it, don’t put furniture near heating vents; if you can’t, keep the
item 3 to 4 inches away from the wall, giving the heat and air space to circulate · Dust with soft dry cloth · Do not use liquid or aerosol products · To avoid marking, do not place rubber on surface (foot pads, etc.) · For soil build-up, wipe with damp cloth & dry · Do not use abrasive cleaners

3. Drill a 3/16 inch hole in the wall. Press the plastic anchor into the hole and gently tap until the flange on the anchor is against the wall surface.
4. Position the bracket over the anchor and use the longer screw to securely attach the bracket to the wall.
5. Place the furniture so the back edge is in line with the bracket on the wall.
6. Lace an end of the nylon zip-tie strap down through each bracket. Bring both ends together and slide the smooth side upright through the square-shaped end and pull through to create the “locked” position.
7. Check to make sure the strap is securely laced and locked to the brackets.
