4. Setup and Assembly

Assembly is required for this product. Follow these general steps, referring to the detailed diagrams in your package for specific part identification and order.

1. Prepare the Area: Clear a spacious, clean, and level area for assembly. Lay down a blanket or cardboard to protect the furniture pieces and your floor.
2. Identify Components: Unpack all parts and hardware. Match them against the parts list and diagrams provided in your package.
3. Assemble the Frame: Begin by assembling the main frame of the chest of drawers. Attach side panels to the base and top panels using the provided hardware (dowels, screws, cam locks). Ensure all connections are secure.
4. Install Drawer Slides: Attach the drawer slides to the interior side panels of the chest frame. Pay attention to the orientation (left/right, front/back) as indicated in the diagrams.
5. Assemble Drawers: Construct each of the six drawers. Attach the side, front, and back panels, then slide in the bottom panel. Secure the drawer slides to the sides of each drawer.
6. Attach Handles: Fasten the natural light wood handles to the front panels of each assembled drawer.
7. Insert Drawers: Carefully slide each assembled drawer into its corresponding slot in the chest frame. Ensure they glide smoothly.
8. Secure to Wall (Anti-Tip): This is a critical safety step. Position the chest of drawers in its desired location. Using the provided anti-tip kit, secure the unit to a wall stud or use appropriate wall anchors for your wall type. This prevents the unit from tipping over.

• Spills: Wipe up spills immediately with a dry cloth to prevent staining or damage to the wood and MDF.
