- Do not overload shelves or the cabinet.
- Keep small parts and hardware away from children during assembly.
- Place the cabinet on a level surface to prevent tipping.

3. Package Contents
Before beginning assembly, verify that all components and hardware are present and undamaged. All parts and accessories are numbered for easy identification.
Refer to the included instruction booklet for a complete list of parts and hardware. If any items are missing or damaged, please contact customer support.
4. Setup and Assembly
Detailed instructions are provided in the separate assembly guide included with your product. Please follow each step carefully. Assembly typically requires two people.
- Unpack and Identify Parts: Lay out all numbered parts and hardware on a clean, soft surface to prevent scratches.
- Follow Step-by-Step Instructions: The assembly guide will direct you through each stage, from attaching panels to installing the doors and adjustable shelf.
- Important Note on Magnet Installation: Pay close attention to the orientation of panels when attaching the magnet for the doors. Incorrect orientation can lead to doors not closing properly. Ensure the magnet is affixed to the correct bottom piece as indicated in the instructions.
- Panel Identification: Some users have noted that distinguishing between similar panels (e.g., Panel #7 and Panel #8) is crucial for correct alignment. Double-check panel numbers before assembly to avoid misalignment.
- Secure All Fasteners: Hand-tighten all screws and bolts initially, then fully tighten once the section is assembled and aligned. Do not overtighten.

7. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues during or after assembly, refer to the following common solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Doors do not close properly. | Magnet or hinges incorrectly installed/aligned. | Review the assembly steps for magnet and hinge installation. Ensure the magnet is on the correct panel and properly aligned with the metal plate on the door. Adjust hinges if necessary. |
| Cabinet is wobbly or unstable. | Loose fasteners or uneven surface. | Ensure all screws and bolts are fully tightened. Place the cabinet on a level surface. If the floor is uneven, use furniture pads to stabilize. |
| Parts do not align during assembly. | Incorrect panel orientation or misidentified parts. | Carefully re-check the part numbers and their orientation against the assembly guide. Some panels may look similar but have specific placements (e.g., Panel #7 vs. #8). |
