Assembly Steps
Follow these steps carefully to assemble your STORKLINTA chest of drawers. Ensure you have all parts and tools before beginning.
Step 1: Prepare Base and Side Panels
Attach drawer runners (part 146114, 30x) to the base panels using screws (part 10102026, 30x). Ensure the runners are oriented correctly as shown in the diagram. The diagram shows two base panels being prepared with multiple screws and runners.
Step 2: Attach Side Panels
Connect the side panels to the base. This involves inserting dowels (part 118331, 14x) and securing with cam locks (part 110126, 12x) and screws (part 101345, 14x). The diagram shows the side panels being attached to the base, with close-ups of dowel insertion and cam lock tightening.
Step 3: Assemble Drawer Slides
Attach the drawer slides (part 151931, 4x for CL, 4x for CR) to the side panels using screws (part 10102042, 4x for CL, 4x for CR). The diagram shows the attachment of these slides to the interior of the main frame.
Step 4: Attach Back Support
Secure the back support rail (part 146114, 1x) to the top rear of the unit using screws (part 10102026, 2x). The diagram shows this rail being attached.
Step 5: Assemble Drawer Sides and Backs
Connect the drawer sides (2x) and drawer back (1x) for each drawer. Use dowels (part 10093081, 8x per drawer) and screws (part 10093082, 8x per drawer). The diagram shows the assembly of drawer boxes.
Step 6: Attach Drawer Fronts
Attach the drawer fronts to the assembled drawer boxes. This involves using cam locks (part 120076, 4x per drawer) and screws (part 119250, 4x per drawer) to connect the front panel to the drawer sides. The diagram shows the drawer front being attached and secured.
Step 7: Attach Drawer Runners to Drawers
Attach the corresponding drawer runners (part 151707, 2x per drawer and 151708, 2x per drawer) to the sides of each assembled drawer using screws (part 101345, 4x per drawer). The diagram shows the runners being attached to the drawer sides.
Step 8: Insert Drawers
Carefully slide the assembled drawers into the main frame, aligning the runners. The diagram shows a drawer being inserted into the unit.
Step 9: Attach Drawer Handles
Attach the drawer handles (part 158568, 2x) to the drawer fronts using screws (part 105248, 2x per handle). The diagram shows the handle being attached to the drawer front.
Step 10: Install Anti-Tip Device (Part 1)
Attach the bracket (part 109049, 1x) to the top rear of the chest of drawers using screws (part 10087223, 2x). The diagram shows the bracket being screwed into the furniture.
Step 11: Install Anti-Tip Device (Part 2 - Wall Attachment)
Secure the wall strap (part 106989, 1x) to the wall using appropriate wall fixings (not always included, refer to page 25 for wall type guidance). Then, connect the strap to the bracket on the furniture. The diagram shows the strap being attached to the wall and then to the furniture bracket.
Step 12: Final Check
Ensure all screws are tightened and the unit is stable. Check that the anti-tip device is securely fastened to both the furniture and the wall.
Wall Mounting Guidance
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, seek professional advice.
Wall Type A (Solid Wall): Drill a hole with a 5/16" (8 mm) drill bit. Insert the plug and screw. (Diagram shows drilling, plug insertion, and screw attachment).
Wall Type B (Hollow Wall): Drill a hole with a 5/16" (8 mm) drill bit. Insert the plug and screw. (Diagram shows drilling, plug insertion, and screw attachment).
Wall Type C (Solid Wood): Drill a pilot hole with a 1/8" (3 mm) drill bit. Use the screw without a plug. (Diagram shows drilling and screw attachment).
