This manual provides instructions for assembling the MWM 9899 Tall Nightstand. Before beginning, ensure you have a flat, smooth surface to work on, such as the cardboard from the box or a rug. It is recommended to have another person assist with the assembly.
Tools and Preparation
You will need the following tools:
- Phillips head screwdriver
- Flat head screwdriver
- Hammer
Important: Before starting, verify that you have all the panels (A-K) and hardware listed in the manual. Check that all parts are in good condition, as the warranty may not cover defects once the unit is assembled.
Assembly System
The furniture uses a Minifix system and wood dowels. Follow these guidelines for all connections:

- Wood Dowels: Insert into the indicated hole and gently tap until fully inside. When joining panels, tap gently to adjust the joint.
- Minifix System: Consists of a spreading bolt and a Minifix cam. Insert the cam with the arrow pointing towards the panel edge. Insert the spreading bolt with the black plastic part facing down. After joining panels, turn the cam 180 degrees with a Phillips head screwdriver to secure the joint.
Assembly Steps
The assembly process involves 20 steps, starting with attaching the legs to the base panel (D) and building the frame using panels A, B, C, E, F, G, H, I, J, and K. Follow the diagrams carefully to ensure correct orientation of panels and hardware.

- Weight Limits: The top surface supports up to 33 lbs, and the drawer supports up to 11 lbs.
