Follow these steps carefully. Lay out all parts on a soft, clean surface to prevent scratches.
Step 1: Attach Cam Bolts and Dowels to Panels
Insert cam bolts and wood dowels into the pre-drilled holes of the side, top, and bottom panels as indicated in the assembly diagram. Ensure they are fully seated.
Step 2: Assemble Base Frame
Connect the bottom panel to the side panels using cam locks. Tighten cam locks securely with a screwdriver. Ensure the structure is stable.
Step 3: Install Fixed Shelves
Slide the fixed shelves into their designated grooves or attach them using cam locks and dowels. These shelves provide structural integrity.
Step 4: Attach Top Panel
Secure the top panel to the side panels using cam locks and dowels, similar to the base frame assembly.
Step 5: Install Back Panels
Carefully align and attach the back panels to the rear of the cabinet using small screws or nails. Ensure the cabinet is square before securing the back panels to prevent warping.

Step 6: Attach Door Hinges to Doors
Mount the hinges to the glass doors using the provided screws. Ensure hinges are oriented correctly for proper door swing.
Step 7: Attach Doors to Cabinet
With assistance, carefully attach the doors to the cabinet frame by securing the hinges to the pre-drilled holes on the side panels. Adjust hinges as needed to ensure doors are level and close properly.
Step 8: Install Door Handles
Attach the door handles to the glass doors using the provided screws. Ensure they are tightened securely but do not overtighten, which could damage the glass or frame.

Step 9: Install Adjustable Shelves
Insert shelf pins into the desired holes on the side panels. Place the adjustable shelves onto the pins. Ensure all four pins are fully inserted and the shelf is level before placing items on it.
Step 10: Secure Cabinet with Anti-Tip Kit
Position the cabinet in its final location. Attach the anti-tip strap to the top rear of the cabinet and secure the other end to a wall stud using the provided wall anchor and screw. This step is crucial for safety.
5. Operating Instructions
5.1 Opening and Closing Doors:
Gently pull or push the door handles to open and close the glass doors. Avoid slamming the doors to prevent damage to hinges and glass.
5.2 Adjusting Shelves:
To adjust the height of the adjustable shelves, first remove all items from the shelf. Carefully lift the shelf and remove the four shelf pins. Reinsert the pins into the desired new holes, ensuring they are level, then place the shelf back onto the pins.
6. Maintenance
6.1 Cleaning the Cabinet:
- Wood Surfaces: Wipe with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that can damage the finish. Dry immediately with a clean cloth.
- Glass Doors: Use a standard glass cleaner and a lint-free cloth. Spray cleaner onto the cloth, not directly onto the glass, to prevent overspray from damaging wood finishes.
6.2 General Care:
- Periodically check all screws and cam locks to ensure they remain tight. Retighten if necessary.
- Avoid exposing the cabinet to direct sunlight or extreme temperature changes, which can cause warping or fading.
- Do not place hot items directly on the cabinet surface without protection.
7. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Cabinet is wobbly or unstable. | Loose hardware; uneven floor; back panels not fully secured. | Ensure all cam locks and screws are tightened. Place shims under the base if the floor is uneven. Verify back panels are securely fastened. |
| Doors do not close properly or are misaligned. | Hinges are not adjusted correctly; cabinet is not square. | Adjust the screws on the door hinges to align the doors. Ensure the cabinet is square during assembly, especially when attaching back panels. |
| Shelves are not level. | Shelf pins not fully inserted; pins inserted into different height holes. | Ensure all four shelf pins are fully inserted into the same level of holes. |
