Setup and Assembly

Tools required: Phillips head screwdriver, flathead screwdriver, hammer, measuring tape, pencil, and optionally, a drill with appropriate bits for pilot holes.

1. Unpack and Identify Parts: Carefully remove all components from the packaging. Lay them out on a clean, soft surface to prevent scratches. Compare all parts against the package contents list.
2. Assemble the Cabinet Frame: Follow the diagrams in the provided manual to connect the side panels, back panel, and bottom panel using the supplied hardware (dowels, cam locks, screws). Ensure all connections are tight and secure.
3. Install Drawer Slides to Cabinet: Attach the cabinet-side drawer slides to the interior of the cabinet frame. Pay close attention to the orientation and height to ensure drawers will align properly. It is recommended to pre-drill pilot holes if not already present, to prevent wood splitting.
4. Assemble Drawer Boxes: Construct each of the three drawer boxes. Secure the drawer sides, front, and back panels, then slide the bottom panel into the grooves.
5. Install Drawer Slides to Drawer Boxes: Attach the drawer-side slides to the assembled drawer boxes. Ensure they are level and parallel to the cabinet slides.
6. Attach Drawer Fronts: Align and attach the shaker-style drawer fronts to the assembled drawer boxes. Adjust as needed for even spacing.
7. Install Handles/Knobs: Secure the chosen handles or knobs to the drawer fronts.
8. Insert Drawers: Carefully slide each assembled drawer into its corresponding position in the cabinet, engaging the drawer slides. Test the soft-closing mechanism.
9. Position the Cabinet: Place the assembled cabinet in its desired location. Ensure it is level and stable. For added stability, consider securing it to the wall using appropriate anchoring hardware (not included).

Operating Instructions

Your Vanity Art cabinet features soft-closing drawers for quiet and smooth operation.

• Opening Drawers: Gently pull the drawer handle to open. The smooth slides will allow for easy access to contents.
• Closing Drawers: Push the drawer gently until it is almost closed. The soft-closing mechanism will engage and slowly pull the drawer shut, preventing slamming and reducing wear and tear.
• Weight Distribution: Distribute items evenly within the drawers. Avoid overloading individual drawers to maintain smooth operation and prevent damage to the slides.

Maintenance

• Cleaning: Wipe the cabinet surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn marks, use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could damage the finish.
• Spills: Immediately wipe up any spills to prevent water damage, especially on the top and drawer fronts.
• Hardware: Periodically check all screws and connections to ensure they remain tight. Tighten if necessary.
• Drawer Slides: If drawer operation becomes stiff, clean the slides and apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant.
