4. Assembly Instructions
Follow these steps carefully for proper assembly. A Phillips head screwdriver and possibly a drill (for wall mounting) will be required.
- Prepare Panels: Lay out all cabinet panels on a soft, flat surface. Identify the top, bottom, side, and back panels.
- Assemble Cabinet Frame: Attach the side panels to the bottom panel using the provided dowels and screws. Ensure the pre-drilled holes align. Secure the top panel in the same manner.
- Install Back Panel: Slide or fasten the back panel into the grooves or attach it to the rear of the assembled frame using small nails or screws.
- Attach Hinges to Door: Secure the soft-close hinges to the cabinet door using the designated screws.
- Attach Door to Cabinet: Mount the door onto the cabinet frame by attaching the hinges to the pre-drilled holes on one of the side panels. Adjust the hinges as needed to ensure the door closes flush and operates smoothly.
- Insert Shelf: Place the shelf pins into the desired height holes inside the cabinet. Rest the adjustable shelf on these pins.

5. Installation
The ARUBA cabinet is designed for wall mounting. Proper installation is crucial for stability and safety.
- Choose Location: Select a suitable wall location in your bathroom, ensuring it is free from electrical wires or plumbing.
- Mark Drilling Points: Hold the cabinet against the wall at the desired height and use a pencil to mark the positions for the wall mounting brackets.
- Drill Holes: Using an appropriate drill bit for your wall type (e.g., masonry, drywall), drill pilot holes at the marked positions. Insert wall anchors if necessary.
- Attach Brackets: Secure the wall mounting brackets to the wall using the provided screws.
- Mount Cabinet: Carefully lift the cabinet and align its pre-installed hanging mechanisms with the wall brackets. Ensure the cabinet is level and securely seated on the brackets.

6. Operation
- Door Operation: The cabinet features a soft-close door mechanism. Gently push the door to close it, and the mechanism will engage to ensure a quiet and smooth closure.
- Adjusting Shelf: The internal shelf can be adjusted to different heights. To do this, remove any items from the shelf, lift the shelf, remove the shelf pins, reposition the pins into new holes, and then place the shelf back on the pins.
7. Maintenance and Care
- Cleaning: Wipe the cabinet surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners, harsh chemicals, or solvents, as these can damage the finish.
- Spills: Immediately wipe up any spills to prevent moisture damage, especially in a bathroom environment.
- Hardware: Periodically check all screws and fittings to ensure they remain tight. Re-tighten if necessary.
- Ventilation: Ensure adequate ventilation in the bathroom to minimize humidity, which can affect wood-based furniture over time.
8. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Door does not close properly or is misaligned. | Hinges are loose or require adjustment. | Tighten hinge screws. Adjust hinge settings (usually via screws on the hinge body) to align the door. |
| Cabinet feels wobbly after assembly. | Screws are not fully tightened. | Ensure all assembly screws are fully tightened. If wall-mounted, check wall anchors and bracket security. |
| Shelf is not stable. | Shelf pins are not fully inserted or are missing. | Ensure all four shelf pins are fully inserted into the corresponding holes and the shelf rests evenly on them. |
