Setup and Assembly

2. Assemble the Metal Frame: Attach the horizontal support bars to the vertical metal frame sections using the provided screws and Allen wrench. Do not fully tighten screws until the entire frame is assembled.
3. Install Shelves: Place the wooden shelves onto the designated slots or attach them to the frame using screws. Ensure the shelves are oriented correctly. The top two shelves are open, and the bottom section is designed for drawers.
4. Assemble Drawers: Construct the two drawers by attaching the front, back, and side panels to the drawer bottom. Secure with screws. Install the drawer handles onto the front panels.
5. Attach Drawer Slides: Mount the drawer slides to the inside of the bookshelf frame and to the sides of the assembled drawers. Ensure they are aligned for smooth operation.
6. Insert Drawers: Carefully slide the assembled drawers into their respective compartments on the bookshelf.
7. Final Tightening: Once all components are in place and aligned, gradually tighten all screws on the entire unit. Ensure the bookshelf is stable and level.
8. Install Anti-tip Kit (Recommended): If an anti-tip kit is provided, follow its instructions to secure the bookshelf to a wall. This greatly enhances stability and safety.
