Setup and Assembly
Assembly is required for this product. It is recommended to have at least two people for certain steps due to the size and weight of the components.
Tools Required:
- Hammer
- #2 Phillips Head Screwdriver
Assembly Steps:
- Preparation: Clear a large, open area for assembly. Lay down a rug or blanket to protect both the furniture pieces and your flooring from scratches. Unpack all components and organize them by their labels.
- Follow Instructions: Refer to the detailed, step-by-step assembly instructions included in your package. Sauder instructions are known for their clarity and well-labeled parts.
- Component Identification: All parts and fasteners are clearly labeled. Pay close attention to these labels to avoid confusion.
- T-Lock Assembly System: This credenza utilizes a T-lock assembly system for secure connections. Ensure all T-locks are properly engaged as per the instructions.
- Drawer Assembly: Assemble the three smooth-gliding drawers carefully. Ensure drawer slides are installed correctly for proper function.
- Back Panel Installation: The back panel typically requires hammering approximately 40 nails. This step often requires the unit to be on its side or upside down.
- Final Placement: Assemble the unit as close to its final desired location as possible, as it will be heavy and difficult to move once fully assembled.
