Assembly Instructions
Preparation
- Clear a spacious, clean area for assembly.
- Lay out all components and hardware, organizing them by type.
- Gather necessary tools (e.g., screwdriver, hammer, if not included).
Step-by-Step Assembly
Follow the detailed, numbered instructions and diagrams provided in the separate assembly guide included with your product. General steps typically include:
- Attach the metal legs to the base panel.
- Assemble the side and back panels.
- Install the adjustable shelves into the desired positions.
- Attach the top panel.

Assembly Tips
- Due to the weight of the cabinet (approximately 83.8 lbs), it is recommended to have two people for assembly, especially when lifting and aligning larger components like the top panel.
- When installing the tambour doors, ensure they are properly seated in their tracks to allow for smooth operation. Avoid forcing them.
- Adjust the non-marking foot caps on the metal legs to ensure stability and prevent floor scratches.

Adjustable Shelves
The cabinet features 3-position adjustable shelves. To adjust a shelf, carefully remove any items, lift the shelf, and reposition the shelf pegs into the desired holes. Ensure all four pegs are securely inserted before placing items back on the shelf.

Care and Maintenance
- Cleaning: Wipe surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that may damage the finish.
- Dusting: Regularly dust with a dry, soft cloth.
- Tambour Doors: If doors become stiff, apply a small amount of furniture wax or silicone spray to the tracks to improve sliding. Ensure the product is suitable for wood finishes.
- Spills: Clean spills immediately to prevent staining or water damage.
Troubleshooting
Tambour Doors Not Sliding Smoothly or Coming Off Track
- Check Alignment: Ensure the cabinet's top and bottom panels are securely fastened and properly aligned. Sometimes, slightly loosening the bolts on the top panel and gently adjusting its position can create more space for the doors to slide. Retighten bolts once adjusted.
- Lubrication: Apply a small amount of furniture wax or a dry lubricant (like silicone spray) to the door tracks. Test the doors gently after application.
- Obstructions: Inspect the tracks for any debris or foreign objects that might be impeding movement.
Cabinet Instability
- Level Surface: Ensure the cabinet is placed on a completely level floor.
- Adjust Foot Caps: Use the adjustable foot caps on the metal legs to compensate for uneven flooring and stabilize the cabinet.
- Tighten Hardware: Periodically check and tighten all assembly hardware to maintain structural integrity.
