Assembly Steps
Follow these steps carefully to assemble your TONSTAD chest of drawers:
Step 1-3: Attaching Drawer Slides to Side Panels
Attach the drawer slides (6 pieces total) to the inner sides of the main cabinet panels using screws (6x Part #10127303). Ensure correct orientation (L for left, R for right).
Step 4-5: Assembling the Main Frame
Connect the base and top panels to the side panels. Use cam bolts (1x Part #10040201, 5x Part #153552) and secure with cam locks (not explicitly numbered here but implied by the mechanism). Insert dowels (3x Part #101339) into pre-drilled holes and join panels.
Step 6-8: Completing the Cabinet Structure
Continue assembling the main cabinet structure by joining the remaining panels using dowels (14x Part #101345) and cam locks (24x Part #145718, 24x Part #119030). Ensure all connections are secure.
Step 9: Attaching Back Panels
Slide or attach the back panels into the grooves on the rear of the cabinet. Secure if necessary with provided fasteners.
Step 10: Attaching Wall Brackets
Attach the wall mounting brackets (2x Part #109049) to the top rear edge of the cabinet using screws (2x Part #100823).
Step 11-13: Assembling Drawer Boxes
Assemble the individual drawer boxes. Connect the drawer sides, front, back, and base using dowels and cam lock systems. Ensure the drawer slides are correctly attached to the drawer sides.
Step 14-16: Attaching Drawer Fronts
Attach the drawer fronts to the assembled drawer boxes using screws (4x Part #151705, 4x Part #151706). Ensure they are aligned correctly.
Step 17-18: Attaching Feet
Turn the cabinet upright. Attach the leveling feet (5x Part #190459) to the bottom of the cabinet.
Step 19-20: Attaching Drawer Slides to Drawers
Attach the corresponding drawer slides to the sides of the assembled drawers. Ensure they are oriented correctly for smooth operation.
Step 21-22: Inserting Drawers
Carefully slide the assembled drawers into the cabinet, aligning them with the drawer slides mounted on the cabinet frame. You should hear a 'click' when they are properly seated.
Step 23-26: Drawer Assembly Details
Further steps detail the assembly of drawer components and their insertion into the main unit.
Step 27-28: Final Drawer Insertion
Complete the insertion of all drawers. Ensure each drawer slides smoothly and locks into place.
Step 29-32: Final Checks
Confirm all drawers are functioning correctly and the unit is stable.
