Assembly Instructions
Assembly typically requires approximately 1-2 hours with two people. Patience is key for a successful build.
- Prepare the Area: Clear a spacious, clean, and flat area for assembly. Lay out all components and hardware.
- Assemble the Frame: Connect the side panels to the top and bottom panels using the provided hardware. Ensure all connections are secure.
- Install Shelves: Insert the fixed shelves into their designated slots. For adjustable shelves, determine your desired height and insert the shelf pins into the corresponding holes. Ensure shelves are properly seated.
- Attach Back Panels: Carefully align and attach the back panels. Ensure guide holes for screws align to prevent splitting. If misalignment occurs, gently create new pilot holes if necessary, but proceed with caution.
- Install Doors: Attach the hinges to the doors and then to the cabinet frame. Adjust hinges as needed to ensure doors align evenly and close properly. Install the magnetic door catches to keep doors securely closed.
- Attach Door Knobs: Secure the door knobs to the front of each door.
- Secure Anti-Tipping Straps: Once the cabinet is in its final position, attach the anti-tipping straps to the top rear of the cabinet and securely fasten them to a wall stud using appropriate wall anchors (not always included, use suitable anchors for your wall type).

Care and Maintenance
- Cleaning: Wipe clean with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that may damage the painted surface.
- Spills: Promptly wipe up any spills to prevent water damage to the engineered wood.
- Inspection: Periodically check all hardware connections to ensure they remain tight. Retighten if necessary.
Troubleshooting
- Wobbly Cabinet: Ensure the cabinet is on a level surface. Check that all screws and connections are tightened. Verify anti-tipping straps are securely installed.
- Doors Not Aligning: Adjust the hinges on the doors. Most hinges allow for minor adjustments to align doors horizontally, vertically, and in depth. Refer to hinge manufacturer instructions if specific adjustments are unclear.
- Difficulty Assembling: Review the assembly instructions carefully. Ensure all parts are oriented correctly. If pilot holes do not align, gently create new ones with a small drill bit, being careful not to split the wood.
