4. Assembly Instructions
Assembly of this cabinet is designed to be straightforward, but requires attention to detail. We recommend two adults for assembly.
Tools Required:
- Phillips head screwdriver (essential)
- Electric or battery-powered drill (optional, for faster screw insertion)
- 5/16 socket wrench (helpful for back panel nut/bolt attachments)
- Headlamp (optional, for better visibility in tight spots)
General Steps:
- Review Instructions: Read the entire instruction manual completely before starting.
- Unpack and Identify Parts: Lay out all components and verify against the package contents list. All pieces are clearly labeled.
- Assemble Frame: Follow the diagrams to connect the side, top, and bottom panels.
- Install Back Panels: Secure the back panels using the provided hardware. A 5/16 socket wrench can assist with tightening nuts and bolts.
- Attach Doors: Mount the two wing doors. The doors are designed to open at a 180-degree angle.
- Install Shelves: Insert the shelf buckle and shelf fixing buckle for the 5 adjustable shelves.
- Attach Leveling Feet: Install the 4 detachable adjustable height leveling feet. The feet come flat and require bending into a 90-degree angle at the punchouts.
- Install Anti-Tipping Device: Secure the cabinet to the wall using the anti-tipping hardware.
Assembly Tips:
- Screw Insertion: When inserting screws, if you encounter resistance, continue turning. The screw will eventually pass through the smaller hole. If it's stuck, remove and re-attempt with the screw straighter.
- Door Alignment: If doors are uneven after assembly, adjust the leveling feet. Start with all feet at their shortest. Adjust feet to remove wobbles. Then, fine-tune the feet by slightly lifting cabinet corners until doors visually align.
- Placement: Position the cabinet in its final location before loading it with items, as the feet are designed for standing, not frequent movement.

7. Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues during or after assembly, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Cabinet wobbles or is unstable | Uneven floor surface; leveling feet not adjusted correctly. | Adjust the individual leveling feet by rotating them until the cabinet is stable. Ensure all feet are making firm contact with the floor. |
| Doors are not aligned or close unevenly | Cabinet is not level; hinges are loose. | First, ensure the cabinet is level using the adjustable feet. If still uneven, check hinge screws for tightness. |
| Screws are difficult to insert or tighten | Screw is at an incorrect angle; pre-drilled hole is tight. | Ensure the screw is inserted straight. Apply steady pressure and continue turning. If using a manual screwdriver, a powered drill with appropriate bit can assist. |
| Missing parts or damaged components | Packaging error or transit damage. | Do not proceed with assembly. Contact GAIOUS customer service immediately for assistance. |
