Step 4: Insert Back Panel

Ensure the back panel is fully seated in its grooves.

Step 5: Install Drawer Runners

Attach the drawer runners to the inside of the cabinet side panels. Listen for a "Click!" sound to confirm they are properly seated.

Place the top panel onto the assembled cabinet frame. Secure it using 4x screws (10036383).

Step 7: Secure Top Panel

Hammer 1x nail (319503) through the top panel into the side panel to reinforce the connection. Ensure a 90-degree angle for the nail.
