Setup and Assembly

Your Sauder Sewing/Craft Cart requires assembly. Please ensure all components and hardware are present before beginning. A Phillips head screwdriver is recommended, and a power drill may expedite the process. Follow the included assembly instructions carefully.

Assembly Tips:

• Review Instructions: Read the entire assembly instruction booklet before starting.
• Organize Parts: Lay out all parts and hardware, verifying against the parts list.
• Work on a Soft Surface: Assemble on a carpeted or protected surface to prevent scratches.
