Assembly Steps

Step 1: Identify Components and Dimensions

Identify all components before starting assembly. This includes side panels of varying heights, shelves, screws, and dowels. The available side panel heights are 226 cm (89 1/16"), 179 cm (70 1/2"), and 124 cm (48 13/16"). Key hardware includes screws (part numbers 101324, 109049, 100823, 107967) and dowels (part number 10049370).

Step 2: Attach First Side Panel to Base

Begin by attaching the first side panel to a base panel. Insert dowels (109049) into the pre-drilled holes on the base panel. Align the side panel with the dowels and secure it using screws (101324). A 'STOP' symbol [stop symbol] indicates the correct insertion point for the screw.
