Assembly is required for this product. Please follow the included detailed instructions in the user guide. It is recommended to have two people for assembly.

  1. Unpack and Identify Parts: Carefully unpack all components and hardware. Refer to the parts list and diagrams to identify each piece.
  2. Assemble the Main Frame: Connect the side panels to the bottom and top panels using the provided hardware (e.g., dowels, cam locks). Ensure all connections are secure.
  3. Install Drawer Slides: Attach the metal slide rails to the cabinet's interior side panels according to the instructions. Ensure they are level and aligned.
  4. Assemble Drawers: Construct the three drawers by attaching the front, side, and back panels to the drawer bottoms. Install the remaining metal slide rails onto the drawer sides. Attach the wooden handles to the drawer fronts.
  5. Insert Drawers: Carefully slide the assembled drawers into their respective compartments, ensuring smooth operation.
  6. Attach Doors: Install hinges to the door panels and then attach the doors to the cabinet frame. Adjust hinges as needed for proper door alignment. Attach wooden handles to the door fronts.
  7. Install Adjustable Shelf: Place the adjustable shelf into the desired position within the lower cabinet section. The shelf has 3 height adjustable options.
  8. Attach Supporting Legs: Securely attach the four supporting legs to the bottom of the cabinet. Ensure the non-slip foot pads are in place.
