- Attach Top Panel: Carefully place and secure the top panel (A) to the assembled frame using the remaining screws. Ensure all connections are firm but do not over-tighten.
- Install Adjustable Feet: Screw the adjustable feet/legs (J) into the bottom corners of the cabinet. These can be adjusted later to level the cabinet on uneven surfaces.
- Attach Doors and Hinges: Mount the doors (F) to the cabinet frame using the provided hinges. Ensure the hinges are aligned correctly for smooth door operation.
- Install Handles and Lock: Attach the handles (G) to the doors. Install the lock mechanism (H) into the pre-drilled hole on one of the doors, ensuring it aligns with the locking point on the other door or frame. Test the lock with the provided keys (I).
- Insert Shelves: Determine your desired shelf heights. Insert the shelf clips (if separate) into the corresponding slots on the side panels. Place the adjustable shelves (E) onto the clips. The cabinet features numerous slots for flexible shelf placement.

6. Maintenance
Regular maintenance will help prolong the life and appearance of your Yizosh storage cabinet.
- Cleaning: Wipe surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, use a mild soap solution and then wipe dry immediately. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the powder coating.

- Leveling: If the cabinet becomes wobbly, adjust the leveling feet at the base to ensure stability.
