4. Assembly Instructions

This dresser features a patented T-lock assembly system designed for ease of construction. While the system simplifies the process, careful attention to the instructions is crucial for proper alignment and stability. A power drill with appropriate bits can expedite the process, but manual screwdrivers are also suitable.

General Assembly Steps:

1. Prepare Workspace: Clear a spacious, clean, and level area for assembly. Lay down a blanket or cardboard to protect the furniture pieces and your floor.
2. Identify Parts: Match all components with the provided parts list and diagrams. Sauder parts are typically well-labeled.
3. Assemble Frame: Follow the step-by-step diagrams to construct the main frame of the dresser. Ensure all T-lock fasteners are securely tightened as instructed.
4. Install Drawer Slides: Attach the drawer slides to the dresser frame according to the diagrams. Pay close attention to the orientation and placement of each slide.
5. Assemble Drawers: Construct each of the six drawers. Ensure the drawer fronts with the Grand Walnut accents and geometric pattern are correctly oriented.
6. Install Drawer Slides on Drawers: Attach the corresponding drawer slides to the assembled drawers.
7. Insert Drawers: Carefully insert each drawer into its designated slot in the dresser frame. Ensure smooth operation. If a drawer does not slide correctly, check the alignment of the drawer slides on both the drawer and the frame. Adjustments can often be made to the small flat washer screw-like mechanism on the side panel for leveling.
8. Attach Anti-Tip Hardware: Securely fasten the dresser to a wall stud using the provided anti-tip hardware.

6. Maintenance and Care

• Cleaning: Wipe the dresser surfaces with a dry, soft cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners, harsh chemicals, or excessive moisture, as these can damage the finish.

7. Troubleshooting

• Drawers do not slide smoothly:
     a. Ensure the dresser is placed on a level surface.
     b. Verify that the drawer slides on both the drawer and the dresser frame are correctly installed and aligned. Refer to the assembly instructions for proper orientation.
     c. Check the small leveling screws/washers on the drawer side panels. Adjust them as needed to ensure the drawer sits level and slides freely.
• Dresser feels wobbly or unstable:
     a. Re-tighten all assembly hardware. Over time, screws can loosen.
