Assembly Steps
Follow these steps carefully to assemble your SONGESAND chest of drawers.
Step 1-13: Assemble Main Cabinet Frame
Prepare the side panels by attaching drawer slides (e.g., 158672 R/L, 158674 R/L) using screws (e.g., 146114). Insert dowels (e.g., 118331, 101345) and attach connecting blocks (e.g., 101345) with screws. Connect side panels to the base, attach top support rails (e.g., 153548, 158568), and vertical support panels. Secure vertical supports with cam locks (e.g., 119252, 119250). Attach top brackets (e.g., 158473) and drawer slide mechanisms (e.g., 10128905, 10119463) using screws (e.g., 105248). Attach the bottom support (e.g., 153548, 158568).
Step 14-16: Attach and Secure Top Panel
Place and secure the top panel onto the assembled frame using cam locks (e.g., 119252) and other fasteners.
Step 17-18: Install Drawer Runners
Install the drawer runners inside the main cabinet frame.
Step 19: Attach Back Panels
Attach the back panels to the rear of the cabinet.
Step 20-21: Install Shelf Supports
Install shelf supports (e.g., 101345) into the designated holes within the cabinet and on the shelves.
Step 22-27: Assemble Drawers
Assemble each drawer by attaching drawer slide components (e.g., 158672 R/L, 158674 R/L) to the drawer sides using screws (e.g., 146114). Connect drawer sides to drawer fronts, securing with cam locks (e.g., 119252, 119250). Attach drawer slide brackets (e.g., 106989) to the drawer sides using screws (e.g., 109049, 100823).
Step 28: Insert Drawers
Carefully insert the assembled drawers into the cabinet runners.
Step 29: Attach Drawer Fronts
Attach the drawer fronts to the assembled drawers using fasteners (e.g., 10093081, 10093082).
Wall Mounting Instructions
It is crucial to secure the furniture to the wall to prevent tip-over accidents. Use the provided anti-tip hardware.
Choosing the Right Hardware
The supplied screws and plugs are suitable for most solid (A) and hollow (B) walls. For solid wood (C), use screws without plugs. If you are uncertain about your wall type or the correct mounting method, seek professional advice.
Mounting Procedure
The diagrams illustrate how to attach the anti-tip bracket to the wall and the furniture. This typically involves marking the wall, drilling pilot holes, inserting wall plugs (if needed), attaching the bracket to the wall with screws, attaching the corresponding bracket or strap to the furniture, and connecting the two securely.
Final Checks
Ensure all screws are tightened and all parts are securely fitted. Check the stability of the furniture. Periodically check the wall mounting to ensure it remains secure.
