4. Setup and Assembly Instructions
Assembly of the SONGMICS shoe organizer is designed to be straightforward. Follow these steps for a secure setup:
- Unpack and Identify Parts: Lay out all components on a clean, flat surface. Refer to the package contents list to ensure everything is present.
- Connect Panels: Insert the edges of the plastic sheets into the slots of the ABS connectors. Ensure the 'SONGMICS' logo on the connectors faces outwards. Push firmly until you hear a 'click' to confirm a secure connection.
- Build Cubes: Construct individual cubes by connecting four side panels and a bottom panel to the connectors. Then add the top panel. Use the rubber mallet to gently tap the panels into the connectors, ensuring they are fully seated and the structure is stable.

- Secure with Anti-Toppling Fittings: For added stability, especially for taller configurations, attach the anti-toppling fittings to the top of the unit and secure them to a wall using appropriate hardware (not included).
