Assembly Instructions
Follow these steps carefully to assemble your Relaxdays Over-the-Appliance Storage Cabinet. It is recommended to have two people for assembly.
- Prepare the Area: Clear a spacious, clean, and soft area for assembly to prevent damage to the cabinet parts.
- Identify Components: Lay out all panels and hardware. Refer to the included diagram for part identification.
- Assemble the Base Frame: Attach the bottom panel to the two side panels using the provided screws and dowels. Ensure the pre-drilled holes align correctly.
- Install the Back Panel: Slide or fasten the back panel into the grooves or attach it to the rear edges of the side panels. This adds stability to the structure.
- Attach the Upper Section: Connect the upper side panels and top panel to form the enclosed cabinet section.
- Insert Shelves:
- For the fixed shelves, secure them in place as indicated in the diagram.
- For adjustable shelves, insert the shelf pins into the desired holes on the side panels, then place the shelves on top of the pins.

- Mount the Doors: Attach the hinges to the cabinet doors and then to the side panels of the upper section. Adjust hinges as needed for proper door alignment. Ensure the magnetic closures are installed to keep doors securely shut.
- Position the Cabinet: Carefully lift and place the assembled cabinet over your washing machine, dryer, or toilet. Ensure it is level and stable.
- Secure with Anti-Tip Hardware:
- Mark the wall through the holes of the L-brackets attached to the top rear of the cabinet.
- Drill pilot holes in the wall at the marked locations. Insert wall anchors if necessary (for drywall or plaster).
- Secure the L-brackets to the wall using the provided screws. This step is critical for safety.
