4. Attach Top Panel: Secure the top panel to the assembled frame.

7. Insert Drawers: Carefully align the drawer slides on the drawers with the slides on the dresser frame and gently push each drawer into place until it clicks or slides smoothly.

Proper care will help maintain the appearance and longevity of your dresser.

6. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your dresser, refer to the following common solutions:

• Drawers Not Closing Smoothly or Falling Off Tracks:
  • Ensure the drawer slides are correctly installed on both the drawer and the dresser frame. Refer to assembly step 3 and the slide installation diagram.
  • Check that all screws securing the slides are tight. Loose screws can cause misalignment.
  • Verify that the drawer is not overloaded, which can cause strain on the slides.
  • If issues persist, some users have found that adding a small washer in front of the screws that attach the railing to the drawer can help stabilize the wheels and prevent them from coming off the tracks.
• Dresser Feels Unstable or Wobbly:
  • Ensure all assembly hardware is fully tightened.
  • Verify that the dresser is placed on a level surface. Adjust furniture levelers if applicable.
  • Confirm the anti-tip device is securely installed to the wall.
• Missing or Damaged Parts: If you discover any missing or damaged parts during unpacking or assembly, do not proceed with assembly. Contact customer service immediately for assistance.
