4. Setup (Assembly Instructions)
Follow these steps to assemble your SONGMICS 6 Cube Storage Organizer. It is recommended to assemble the unit on a soft, clean surface to prevent scratches.
- Unpack and Identify Parts: Carefully remove all components from the packaging and lay them out. Refer to the 'Package Contents' section to ensure all parts are present.

- Add Feet: Attach the designated feet to the bottom connectors of the cubes that will form the base of your desired configuration.
- Expand the Structure: Continue adding panels and connectors to build additional cubes according to your desired layout (e.g., a 2x3 rectangle, a step-like structure). Ensure each new panel is securely connected to existing connectors and new ones.
- Finalize Connections: Once the desired structure is formed, go over all connections with the rubber mallet to ensure maximum stability.
- Install Anti-Tip Kit: If desired or necessary, follow the instructions provided with the anti-tip kit to secure the storage unit to a wall. This is highly recommended for taller configurations.
