Follow these step-by-step instructions for proper assembly. It is recommended to have two people for certain steps.
- Unpack and Identify Parts: Carefully unpack all components and lay them out on a clean, soft surface (e.g., a blanket or carpet) to prevent scratches. Identify each part using the provided hardware list and diagrams.
- Assemble the Frame: Begin by assembling the main frame of the dresser. Connect the side panels to the top and bottom panels using the designated hardware. Ensure all connections are secure.
- Install Drawer Glides: Attach the drawer glides to the interior side panels of the dresser frame. Pay attention to the orientation of the glides (left and right).
