Dear Customer,
Congratulations on purchasing a piece of Rauch furniture. All Rauch products are "made in Germany" using high-quality wood-based materials and environmentally friendly processes. The high quality of Rauch furniture has been confirmed by independent testing institutes. Please observe the assembly instructions. Follow the individual steps precisely. Take care when opening the packaging and check to ensure that nothing is missing. Do not destroy or dispose of the packaging before you are certain that you have all the pieces required for assembly.
When unpacking the furniture, ensure small parts are kept out of the reach of children, in order to avoid the risk of swallowing. To avoid asphyxiation, keep the plastic film out of reach of babies and children.
Wall assembly/fixing:
If the furniture is to be fixed to the wall (see assembly instructions), you must check that the bearing capacity of the wall is sufficient prior to assembly. Please also take into account any power lines or water pipelines. The fixing material which is supplied for assembly to the wall is only suitable for solid brickwork. Other fixing materials must be used for other types of walls.
Load information:
The maximum permissible loads which may be placed on our shelves, drawers, clothes rails, etc., depend on the material used (wood, metal, etc.). We provide a load table for download, where you can see the relevant maximum permissible load.
Electrical components:
All electrical components are checked by our suppliers as regards usage and operation and thus meet the established EU requirements (CE, VDE, etc.). When changing lamps please do not exceed the maximum given wattage. Do not cover lamps and ensure that heat is not allowed to build up.
Beds:
Beds must be assembled on a flat surface otherwise functionality may be impaired and the furniture may creak. After adjusting the bed, the base feet must be raised off the floor and returned to their original position before being positioned stabily anew.
Care:
A dry, lint-free cotton cloth is sufficient for cleaning furniture surfaces. Always rub cleaned surfaces dry!

Furniture manufactured in industrial environments is subject to certain tolerances as a result of the processes and materials used in its production. These include slight deviations in colour, structure, application and glass properties, for example, which fall within the scope of nationally and internationally applicable standards.
