5. Setup

Once assembled, position the cabinet in your desired location. Ensure the floor is level to prevent wobbling. If necessary, use shims under the cabinet feet to stabilize it.

Securing the Cabinet:

The anti-tipping device is crucial for stability. Locate a wall stud behind the cabinet and securely fasten the device to both the cabinet and the wall. This prevents accidental tipping, especially important for tall furniture.
