- Install Shelves: Insert the adjustable shelf pins into the desired height holes. Place the shelves onto these pins. The adjustable design allows for customization to fit various item sizes.
- Attach Back Panel: Secure the MDF back panel to the rear of the unit. This enhances stability and durability.
- Install Doors: Attach the doors to the lower section of the bookcase using the provided hinges. Adjust as necessary for proper alignment.
- Apply Cover Caps: Use the included cover caps to conceal exposed screw heads for a finished appearance.
- Install Anti-Tip Kit: This is a critical safety step. Secure the anti-tip kit to the top rear of the bookcase and firmly attach it to a wall stud or appropriate wall anchor.
