4. Setup and Assembly

Assembly of the Tvilum Scottsdale 5 Drawer Chest requires two people and basic household tools (e.g., screwdriver, hammer). Follow the visual instructions provided in the included assembly guide. The following steps provide a general overview.

4.1. Preparation

1. Unpack all components and lay them out on a clean, soft surface to prevent scratches.
2. Identify all parts and hardware using the parts list in your separate assembly guide.
3. Ensure you have all required tools.

4.2. Assembling the Frame

Begin by constructing the main frame of the chest. This typically involves attaching the side panels to the top and bottom panels using dowels and cam lock fasteners.

Important: Ensure all connections are tight and the frame is square before proceeding. An unsquare frame can lead to issues with drawer alignment.

4.3. Attaching the Back Panel

Once the main frame is assembled, attach the back panel. This panel provides structural integrity and helps keep the chest square.

Assemble each of the five drawers. Each drawer consists of a front panel, two side panels, a back panel, and a bottom panel. Attach the metal drawer glides to the sides of the assembled drawers.
