2. Tools Required: You will typically need a screwdriver (Phillips head), a hammer, and possibly an Allen key (often included with hardware).
3. Assemble the Frame: Begin by assembling the main frame of the nightstand according to the numerical sequence in your assembly guide. Secure all panels using the provided hardware.

7. Final Check: Once fully assembled, gently shake the nightstand to ensure it is stable. Tighten any loose screws.

6. Maintenance

Proper care will extend the life and appearance of your nightstand.

• Wobbly Nightstand: Ensure the nightstand is placed on a level surface. Check all assembly screws and connections, tightening any that are loose.
• Drawers Not Sliding Smoothly: Verify that the drawer slides are correctly installed and free from obstructions. Check that all screws securing the slides to both the drawer and the nightstand frame are tight.
