• Adjustable shelf
• Towel bar
• Hardware kit (screws, dowels, hinges, handles, wall anchors, mounting brackets)
• Assembly instructions

4. Setup & Installation

The installation process involves assembling the cabinet and then mounting it securely to a wall. It is recommended to have two people for the wall mounting step.

4.1 Assembly

1. Review Instructions: Carefully read the detailed assembly instructions provided in the package before starting.
2. Organize Parts: Lay out all cabinet panels and hardware. Identify each component using the diagrams in the instruction manual.
3. Assemble Frame: Follow the step-by-step guide to connect the cabinet panels. Ensure all connections are tight and secure. While the instructions may suggest manual tools, an electric screwdriver can expedite the process for some parts, but use caution to avoid overtightening or stripping screws.
4. Install Adjustable Shelf: The cabinet features a recessed slot design allowing for 3 height selections for the adjustable shelf. Insert the shelf supports into the desired slots. Note: Some pre-drilled holes for the inside shelf may require slight adjustment or gentle widening to ensure the shelf sits level.
5. Attach Doors and Handles: Install the hinges onto the doors and then attach the doors to the cabinet frame. It is often easier to attach the doors after the cabinet is mounted to the wall. Install the handles onto the barn doors. The magnetic clips for the doors are adjustable to ensure a perfect close.
6. Attach Towel Bar: Secure the removable towel bar to the designated area under the cabinet.

4.2 Wall Mounting

1. Choose Location: Select a suitable wall location, ensuring it is free from electrical wires or plumbing. The cabinet is designed to be hung steadily on the wall, often above a toilet or sink.
2. Mark Mounting Points: Use a level and pencil to mark the desired mounting points on the wall. It is crucial to anchor the cabinet into wall studs for maximum security. If studs are not available for both mounting points, ensure at least one side is secured to a stud and use appropriate heavy-duty drywall anchors for the other side.
3. Install Mounting Hardware: Drill pilot holes at the marked points. Insert wall anchors if not drilling into studs. Secure the mounting brackets to the wall using the provided screws.
4. Mount Cabinet: With assistance, carefully lift the assembled cabinet and align its mounting points with the brackets on the wall. Secure the cabinet to the brackets according to the instructions. Ensure the cabinet is level and stable before placing any items inside.

6. Maintenance

To ensure your RUSTOWN Farmhouse Wall Storage Cabinet remains in good condition, follow these maintenance guidelines:

• Cleaning: Wipe the cabinet surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or excessive moisture, as these can damage the wood finish.
• Dusting: Regularly dust the cabinet with a dry, soft cloth to prevent buildup.
• Hardware Check: Periodically check all screws and connections to ensure they remain tight. Retighten if necessary to maintain stability.
• Avoid Overloading: Do not exceed the maximum weight capacity of 20 pounds to prevent structural stress.

7. Troubleshooting

Here are solutions to common issues you might encounter:

• Wobbly Cabinet: If the cabinet feels unstable after mounting, ensure all wall anchors are secure and that the mounting screws are fully tightened. Verify that the cabinet is level. If possible, reinforce mounting into additional wall studs.
• Doors Not Closing Properly: Check the alignment of the hinges and the magnetic clips. The magnetic clips are adjustable and can be repositioned slightly to ensure the doors close evenly and securely.
• Shelf Not Level: If an adjustable shelf is not sitting level, inspect the pre-drilled holes for any obstructions or inconsistencies. Gently widen the holes if needed to allow the shelf supports to sit flush.
• Missing or Damaged Parts: If you discover any missing or damaged parts during assembly, do not proceed with installation. Contact RUSTOWN customer support immediately for assistance.
