General Assembly Steps:
- Unpack and Identify Parts: Carefully unpack all components and hardware. Refer to the parts list in your product packaging to ensure all pieces are present.
- Assemble the Base Frame: Begin by connecting the vertical and horizontal support beams to form the lower frame that will sit around the toilet. Ensure all connections are secure but do not overtighten screws initially.
- Attach Side Panels: Secure the side panels to the base frame. These panels provide the vertical structure for the upper cabinet and open shelf.
- Install Shelves: Insert the fixed shelves into their designated slots. The cabinet features one open shelf and one internal shelf within the closed compartment.
- Assemble the Top Cabinet: Construct the upper cabinet section, including the top panel and any internal dividers or shelves.
- Attach Doors: Mount the two doors to the upper cabinet using the provided hinges. Install the metal handles.
- Final Tightening and Placement: Once all components are assembled, gently tighten all screws. Position the cabinet over your toilet.
- Wall Anchoring (Recommended): For enhanced stability and safety, especially in homes with children, secure the cabinet to the wall using appropriate wall anchors and screws (not always included, may need to be purchased separately based on wall type).

Care and Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and appearance of your TENDANCE 9904306 Over-Toilet Cabinet, follow these care instructions:
- Cleaning: Wipe surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn marks, use a mild soap solution and immediately dry with a clean cloth.
- Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or ammonia-based products, as these can damage the finish.
- Moisture Protection: While suitable for bathrooms, avoid prolonged exposure to excessive moisture. Wipe up spills immediately.
- Hardware Check: Periodically check all screws and fittings to ensure they remain tight. Retighten if necessary.
- Sunlight Exposure: Avoid direct and prolonged sunlight exposure to prevent fading or discoloration of the wood finish.
Troubleshooting
Here are some common issues and their solutions:
- Cabinet feels wobbly after assembly:
Ensure all screws are fully tightened. If the issue persists, check that all panels are correctly aligned and seated. Wall anchoring is highly recommended for stability. - Doors do not close properly:
Check the alignment of the hinges. Adjust the screws on the hinges to ensure the doors are level and close smoothly. Ensure no items inside the cabinet are obstructing the doors. - Missing parts:
Carefully re-check the packaging and parts list. If parts are genuinely missing, contact the retailer or manufacturer's customer service for assistance. - Difficulty fitting over the toilet:
Verify the dimensions of your toilet and the cabinet's clearance. Some toilet designs (e.g., with high water pipes) may require specific adjustments or may not be compatible.
