Step 2: Assemble Side Panels to Base
Connect the side panels to the bottom panel using the provided cam locks and dowels. Make sure the pre-drilled holes align perfectly.
Step 3: Install Back Panel
Slide the back panel into the grooves on the side panels. Secure it with small nails or screws as indicated in the hardware pack.
Step 4: Attach Top Panel
Place the top panel onto the assembled side panels and secure it using cam locks and dowels. Ensure all connections are tight and stable.
Step 5: Install Door and Hinges
Attach the hinges to the door and then to one of the side panels. Adjust the hinges to ensure the door swings smoothly and closes properly. The wardrobe features a flat panel door style.

Step 6: Insert Adjustable Shelf and Coat Hooks

Step 7: Final Adjustments
Once assembled, gently move the wardrobe to its final desired location. Adjust the feet to ensure the wardrobe is level and stable on the floor. This prevents wobbling and ensures proper door alignment.
Operating Instructions
- Opening/Closing the Door: Use the handle to open and close the wardrobe door. Ensure it latches securely when closed.
- Adjusting the Shelf: To change the height of the adjustable shelf, remove all items from the shelf. Lift the shelf off its pins, reposition the pins into the desired holes on the side panels, and then place the shelf back onto the pins.
- Using Coat Hooks: The two integrated coat hooks are designed for hanging coats, sweaters, bags, or other personal belongings. Do not exceed the recommended weight limit for the hooks.
- Lock Mechanism: The wardrobe includes a lock mechanism for securing contents. Insert the key and turn to lock or unlock the door. Keep the key in a safe place.
Maintenance
- Cleaning: Wipe surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, as they may damage the laminate finish.
- Spills: Immediately wipe up any spills to prevent staining or damage to the laminate.
- Hardware Check: Periodically check all screws, cam locks, and other hardware to ensure they remain tight. Retighten as needed to maintain stability.
- Avoid Direct Sunlight: Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight may cause fading or discoloration of the finish.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Wardrobe wobbles | Uneven floor; loose connections | Adjust the leveling feet at the bottom of the wardrobe. Ensure all assembly hardware is tightened. |
| Door does not close properly | Hinges misaligned; wardrobe not level | Adjust the hinges on the door. Check if the wardrobe is level using the adjustable feet. |
