1. Prepare the Area: Clear a spacious, flat, and clean area for assembly. Lay down a blanket or cardboard to protect the wardrobe panels from scratches.
2. Assemble the Base Frame: Connect the bottom panel to the side panels using the provided hardware (dowels and cam locks). Ensure the grooves for the back panel are facing correctly.
3. Install Internal Dividers and Shelves: Insert the central vertical divider. Then, install the fixed shelves according to the pre-drilled holes. Refer to Figure 2 for the correct placement and dimensions of shelves.
4. Assemble Drawers: For each drawer, attach the sides, back, and bottom to the drawer front. Install the metal drawer slides onto the drawer sides and the corresponding runners inside the wardrobe.
5. Install Hanging Rod: Secure the hanging rod supports and then place the rod in the designated section.
6. Attach Top Panel: Secure the top panel to the assembled frame using the remaining hardware.
7. Install Back Panel: Slide the back panel into the grooves and secure it with small nails or screws as indicated in the hardware pack. Ensure the frame is square before securing the back panel.
8. Attach Sliding Door Tracks: Install the PVC tracks to the top and bottom of the wardrobe opening. Ensure they are aligned correctly for smooth door operation.
9. Install Sliding Doors: Carefully lift each sliding door and engage the rollers into the top and bottom tracks. The doors feature integrated mirrors, so handle them with extreme care.
10. Attach Handles: Secure the PVC handles to the sliding doors.
11. Final Checks: Ensure all screws are tightened, doors slide smoothly, and drawers open and close without obstruction. If wall anchoring hardware is included, install it now.

5. Operating Instructions

• Sliding Doors: To open or close the doors, gently push or pull the handle along the track. Avoid forcing the doors, as this can damage the tracks or rollers.
• Drawers: Pull the drawer fronts to open and push to close. Do not overload drawers, as this can cause them to stick or damage the metal slides.

6. Maintenance

• Cleaning: Wipe surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, which can damage the UV semi-gloss finish. For mirrors, use a glass cleaner and a lint-free cloth.
• Hardware: Periodically check all screws and fittings to ensure they remain tight. Re-tighten as necessary to maintain stability.
• Tracks and Slides: Keep sliding door tracks and drawer slides free of dust and debris to ensure smooth operation. A dry cloth or vacuum cleaner can be used.

7. Troubleshooting

• Doors not sliding smoothly: Check tracks for obstructions (dust, debris). Ensure tracks are securely installed and not warped. Verify rollers are properly seated in the tracks.
• Drawers sticking or not closing fully: Check for obstructions inside the drawer or along the slides. Ensure metal slides are properly aligned and not bent. Verify drawer contents are not overloaded.
• Wardrobe feels unstable: Ensure all assembly hardware is fully tightened. If applicable, verify the wardrobe is anchored to the wall. Ensure the wardrobe is on a level surface.
• Mirrors appear loose: If the mirrors within the door panels feel loose, contact customer support. Do not attempt to re-secure them yourself unless specifically instructed.
