Assembly Steps

Step 1

Attach four large screws (114334) to the base panel using the Allen wrench (113453). The diagram shows two screws being inserted into pre-drilled holes on one side of the base panel.

Step 2

Attach two drawer slide components (118250) to the inner sides of the two main vertical panels using screws (100349). Align the slides with the pre-drilled holes.

Step 3

Insert two wooden dowels (101353) into the holes on the bottom edge of one of the main vertical panels. A crossed-out dowel (101345) is shown, indicating it should not be used here. The diagram shows the dowels being pushed into the panel.

Step 4

Connect the main vertical panels to the base panel. Use plastic bracket/connectors (122998) and brackets (114254) secured with screws (113453). The diagram shows the panels being positioned and the connectors/brackets being attached.

Step 5

Attach the top horizontal supports to the main vertical panels. Use four long screws (153548). The diagram shows these supports being placed on top of the vertical panels and secured, with a hammer icon suggesting gentle tapping if needed.

Step 6

Attach two wall brackets (106989) to the back of the assembled frame using screws (109049) and (100823). A wall plug (326949) is shown, indicating its use for wall mounting. The diagram shows the brackets being screwed into the back edge of the frame.

Step 7

Place the glass top surface (10066373, 10087006) onto the assembled frame. The diagram shows the glass being carefully lowered onto the frame.

Secure the glass top surface from underneath. Attach three brackets (10003193) to the underside of the top surface and the frame using screws (109560). The diagram shows the brackets being screwed into place.

Step 9

Attach drawer front supports. Use three screws (109560) to attach supports to the front edges of the main vertical panels. The diagram shows the screws being inserted into pre-drilled holes.

Step 10

Attach the drawer slide components to the sides of the drawer structure. Use two drawer slide components (118250) and screws (109049). The diagram shows the slides being aligned and screwed into the drawer side panels.

Step 11

Attach the back panel of the drawer structure. The diagram shows the back panel being positioned and secured to the drawer sides.

Wall Mounting Guide

Choosing Wall Fixings

The supplied screws and plugs can be used with most solid (A) and hollow (B) walls. For solid wood (C), use the screws without plugs. If you are uncertain, seek professional advice.

Type A: Solid Wall

Drill a Ø 8 mm (5/16") hole to a depth of 70 mm (2 3/4"). Insert the wall plug (121714) and then screw in the hardware.

Type B: Hollow Wall

Drill a Ø 8 mm (5/16") hole to a depth of approximately 30 mm (1 1/4"). Insert the wall plug (121714) and then screw in the hardware.

Type C: Solid Wood

Drill a Ø 3 mm (1/8") hole. Screw directly into the wood without a plug.
