- Assemble the Base: Attach the bottom panel to the side panels using dowels and cam locks as indicated in the diagrams. Ensure all connections are snug.
- Install Internal Dividers and Shelves: Secure the vertical dividers and fixed shelves into place. For adjustable shelves, insert shelf pins into the desired holes.
- Attach Back Panels: Carefully align and attach the back panels to the wardrobe frame using small nails or screws. Ensure the frame is square before securing.

Operating and Usage
- Doors: Open and close doors gently. Avoid slamming to prevent damage to hinges and the wardrobe structure.
- Drawers: Pull drawers out smoothly. Do not overload drawers beyond their capacity to ensure longevity of the slides.
- Weight Distribution: Distribute items evenly across shelves and hanging rods. Avoid placing excessively heavy items on a single shelf or in one section.
- Ventilation: Periodically open doors and drawers to allow for air circulation, especially if storing clothing for extended periods.
Maintenance
- Cleaning: Wipe surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners, harsh chemicals, or excessive moisture, which can damage the finish.
- Dusting: Regularly dust the wardrobe with a dry, soft cloth to prevent dust buildup.
- Hardware Check: Periodically check all screws, bolts, and fittings to ensure they are tight. Re-tighten as needed to maintain structural integrity.
- Sunlight Exposure: Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, which can cause fading or discoloration of the finish.
- Humidity Control: Maintain a stable room temperature and humidity level to prevent warping or cracking of the wood material.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Doors do not align or close properly. | Hinges are loose or misaligned. | Adjust the screws on the hinges to align the doors. Ensure the wardrobe is on a level surface. |
| Drawers stick or are difficult to open/close. | Drawer slides are misaligned or damaged; drawer is overloaded. | Check drawer slide alignment and re-tighten screws. Reduce the weight in the drawer. |
