2. Assemble the Cabinet Frame
Follow the step-by-step instructions provided in your product's assembly guide to construct the main cabinet frame. This typically involves connecting side panels, back panel, and base using the provided hardware (screws, dowels, cam locks).
3. Attach Solid Wood Legs
Securely attach the four solid rubberwood legs to the bottom of the cabinet frame using the designated screws. Ensure they are tightened firmly for stability.
4. Install the Ceramic Sink Top
Carefully place the integrated ceramic sink top onto the assembled cabinet frame. Ensure it is properly aligned with the cabinet edges. Apply a bead of silicone sealant (not included) around the top edge of the cabinet where it meets the sink to secure it and prevent water infiltration. Allow the sealant to cure as per manufacturer's instructions.

Care and Maintenance
Proper care will ensure the longevity and appearance of your Merax Bathroom Vanity.
- Cleaning the Sink: Clean the ceramic sink regularly with a soft cloth and mild, non-abrasive cleaner. Rinse thoroughly with water and dry to prevent water spots. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive pads that can damage the surface.
- Cleaning the Cabinet: Wipe the cabinet surfaces (MDF and rubberwood) with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn spots, use a mild soap solution and immediately dry with a clean cloth. Avoid excessive moisture.
- Spills: Wipe up any water spills on the vanity surface or cabinet immediately to prevent water damage, especially around seams and edges.
- Hardware: Periodically check and tighten any loose screws on hinges, drawer slides, and knobs. Clean zinc alloy knobs with a soft, dry cloth.

Troubleshooting
Here are some common issues and their potential solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |

| Cabinet Door Not Closing Properly | Misaligned hinges; loose hinge screws. | Adjust the hinge screws to realign the door. Ensure all hinge screws are tightened. |
| Tilt-Out Drawer Sticking | Obstruction; misaligned drawer slides. | Check for any items obstructing the drawer's movement. Ensure drawer slides are properly installed and aligned. |
