Assembly & Care
Before assembly
- Read the instructions for the exact model and selected size.
- Unpack on a level surface and identify panels, fittings and hardware using the parts list.
- Inspect for shipping damage before fitting parts. Keep small hardware and packaging away from children and pets.
- Use the tools and sequence specified by the instructions. Do not substitute unverified fittings or force damaged parts.
Storage boxes and lid mechanisms
Keep the base level and the surrounding area clear. When a model has hinges or gas struts, follow its fitting sequence and keep fingers clear of moving parts. A supported lid still needs careful handling; do not allow children or pets to climb inside.
Do not use a storage box as a step. Use for seating only if the exact model’s supplied instructions expressly permit it and specify the load limit. Do not apply another model’s load rating.
Side tables
Place on a stable, level surface. Check that the legs, top and any shelves are fitted as instructed. Distribute items within the stated limits. A side table is not a seat or climbing platform.
Routine cleaning and placement
Follow the supplied care guidance. A soft cloth with mild soapy water is suitable for general surface cleaning where permitted; wipe or rinse as instructed. Avoid abrasive pads, harsh solvents, open flames and excessive heat. Keep drainage and lid edges clear, and check fittings periodically.
Close the lid properly and use a well-drained location. Do not assume weather resistance means submersion protection or guaranteed dry storage in every condition.
Damage or missing parts
Stop assembly or use if the item is unsafe or unstable. Email sale@efu.shop with your order number, product, part identifier and photos where practical. We will help review the issue.
Chairs, stools and benches
Follow the selected model’s seating and load instructions. Check fasteners and stability before use. Keep hands clear of rocking or reclining mechanisms, and do not stand on furniture or use a storage shelf as a seat.
Garden beds and composters
Check the base or support surface, drainage and assembly before filling. Keep wheeled models stable using their supplied locking system where present. For composters, maintain the clearance and ventilation specified by the instructions and use only suitable materials. Avoid putting hazardous substances into garden or composting products.
Pet shelters, enclosures and furniture
Check for sharp edges, loose fittings and secure gates or access panels. Follow any anchoring instructions. Keep the interior clean, dry and ventilated as the selected model requires. Choose and supervise use according to the pet’s size and behavior; inspect after chewing, rough handling or weather exposure. A pet product is not a child safety barrier.
Waste and recycling bins
Use a suitably fitted liner where specified, keep lids and any drip trays clear, and clean as instructed. Do not store hot ash, flammable liquids or hazardous substances in an ordinary household waste bin. Inspect hinges and closures periodically.
Package delivery boxes
Install only as the selected model’s instructions permit and use the specified mounting or anchoring method where required. Keep the delivery opening, hinges, latch and surrounding access clear. Check fixings periodically and retrieve parcels promptly. Maintain any lock according to its instructions, and do not store perishable, hazardous or temperature-sensitive goods in an ordinary parcel box.
