Assembly Instructions (Setup)

Assembly typically requires two adults. Lay out all parts on a soft, clean surface to prevent scratching. Follow the numbered steps in your detailed assembly guide provided with the product. Below are general steps and key considerations:

Step 1: Attach Cam Dowels and Cam Screws

Insert cam dowels into pre-drilled holes on the edges of panels. Ensure they are fully seated. Screw cam screws into the corresponding panels. Do not overtighten.

Step 2: Connect Panels

Align panels with cam dowels and cam screws. Insert the cam dowels into the cam lock holes. Ensure the arrow on the cam lock points towards the edge of the board where the cam dowel is inserted.

Step 3: Secure Cam Locks

Using a Phillips head screwdriver, turn the cam locks approximately 210 degrees clockwise to secure the panels together. The cam lock should firmly grip the cam dowel, creating a strong joint.

Step 4: Install Back Panel

Carefully attach the back panel using the provided small nails or screws. Ensure the cabinet frame is square before securing the back panel, as this adds significant stability.

Step 5: Attach Doors and Hardware

Mount the door hinges to the cabinet frame and then attach the doors. Adjust hinges as needed to ensure doors are level and close properly. Install the door handles.
