Before beginning assembly, ensure you have all the necessary hardware. The hardware is located inside a cardboard box; check for it before disposing of any packaging. Clear a clean, flat area on a carpet or soft surface to prevent scratching the furniture during assembly. The estimated assembly time is approximately 30 minutes.
Tools Required
- Phillips screwdriver (medium & large)
- Small hammer
- Ruler or tape measure
- Eye protection (recommended when using a hammer or glue)
Hardware List
The unit includes various screws, dowels, cam locks, and rails. Use the ruler provided on page 4 of the manual to correctly identify the screws before starting. Ensure you have the correct quantities of parts A through M as listed in the manual.
Assembly Steps
1. Rail Installation: Attach the drawer rails (G and H) to the side panels (02 and 03) using screws (E). Ensure the rails are oriented correctly as shown in the diagrams.
2. Frame Assembly: Assemble the top panel (01) and support (05) using dowels (A) and screws (D). Connect the side panels to the bottom and top sections using the cam lock system (K) and screws (B). Ensure all cam locks are tightened securely.
3. Back Panel: Attach the back panel (04) to the rear of the unit. Use all provided nails (F) and space them evenly to ensure the unit is strong and stable. Important: The cabinet must be 'square' before attaching the back panel.
4. Drawer Assembly: Assemble the drawer sides (09, 10), back (11), and bottom (12). Attach the drawer front (08) using screws (B) and dowels (A). Install the drawer rails (G/H) to the drawer sides using screws (C).
Wall Mounting and Safety
For safety, the unit must be secured to the wall. Position the furniture in its desired location and mark the wall. Move the unit aside, drill a hole 4cm below the mark, and install the wall strap (I) using the provided washer (J) and screw (B). Move the furniture back into position and secure the strap to the top panel.
Final Adjustments
Insert the assembled drawer into the unit. Ensure the drawer slides smoothly along the rails. If the drawer does not slide correctly, check that the rails are installed flush and that the cabinet frame is square.
