Setup and Assembly
Your Sauder HomePlus Storage Cabinet comes with clear instructions for a hassle-free setup. It is recommended to assemble the unit on a soft surface like carpet to prevent damage. Ensure all parts are present before beginning assembly.
Key Assembly Steps:
- Unpacking: Carefully unpack all components and verify against the parts list provided in the assembly instructions.
- Base Assembly: Pay close attention to aligning screw holes during base assembly. Minor adjustments may be needed.
- Back Panel Installation: The back panel comes folded. Ensure it is aligned as squarely as possible to avoid sagging or overlapping the cabinet sides.
- Door Attachment: Attaching the doors can be tricky. The doors open perpendicular (90 degrees) to the cabinet, which may limit space for attaching hinges. Using a thin book or similar object to prop up the doors to the correct height can assist in easier attachment. Adjust hinges as needed for proper door alignment and to close any gaps.
Stability and Leveling:
The cabinet is equipped with adjustable base levelers to ensure it remains steady on uneven floors. Adjust these levelers as necessary to achieve optimal stability. For added security, a wall mount attachment is included and recommended, especially if the cabinet will hold heavy items or is placed in an area with potential for tipping.

Maintenance
To maintain the appearance and longevity of your Sauder HomePlus Storage Cabinet, follow these simple care instructions:

- Hardware: Periodically check and tighten any loose hardware to ensure the cabinet remains sturdy.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your Sauder HomePlus Storage Cabinet, refer to the following common troubleshooting tips:
- Wobbly Cabinet: If the cabinet feels unstable, ensure it is placed on a level surface. Adjust the base levelers until the cabinet is steady. Adding heavier items to the bottom shelf can also improve stability.
- Misaligned Doors: If the doors do not close properly or appear misaligned, adjust the hinges. The assembly instructions provide detailed guidance on how to make these minor adjustments to achieve proper alignment and close any gaps.
- Back Panel Sagging/Not Square: The back panel is folded for shipping and may not sit perfectly square. While this typically does not affect functionality, ensure it is secured to the cabinet frame as best as possible to prevent excessive sagging.
