Assembly Overview
The assembly process is divided into 51 steps. It is recommended to assemble the frame on a soft surface, such as a rug, to prevent damage to the panels. The process involves:
- Frame Assembly (Steps 1-29): Preparing panels with dowels and cam locks, then connecting the side, top, and bottom panels.
- Back Panel Installation (Steps 30-33): Attaching the back panels using the provided clips and fasteners.
- Door Installation (Steps 43-47): Attaching hinges to the doors and mounting them to the wardrobe frame.
- Final Touches (Steps 48-51): Installing handles, clothes rails, and hooks.
Hinge Adjustment
If the doors are not aligned correctly, you can adjust them using the hinge screws. Refer to the adjustment guide on page 37, which illustrates how to adjust the door height, depth, and lateral position using the screws on the hinge plate.
Disassembly and Reversal
The manual includes a section on page 38 detailing how to reverse the assembly process (50 to 1) if you need to disassemble the wardrobe.
