Setup and Assembly
This Sauder product requires assembly. Please follow the illustrated instructions provided in your assembly booklet carefully. Ensure all parts are present before beginning. A power drill on a low torque setting is recommended for efficiency, but exercise caution to avoid damaging the wood or stripping hardware.
It is highly recommended to have a second person assist with assembly due to the weight and size of the components.
Attaching the Back Panel:
Proper attachment of the back panel is crucial for the unit's squareness, stability, and strength. Do not stand the unit upright without the back attached, as it may collapse.
