Assembly Steps
Step 1: Preparation
Gather necessary tools: screwdrivers, hammer, pencil, spirit level.
Ensure you have a clear workspace, preferably on a soft surface like a rug to protect the furniture pieces.

Step 3: Inserting Shelves
Insert the horizontal and vertical shelf dividers into their designated slots. Use dowels and screws to secure them.
The diagram illustrates inserting shelf panels into the frame, using dowels and a hammer to tap them into place. Arrows indicate the direction of insertion.
Step 4: Attaching Back Panels (if applicable)
Slide or attach any back panels into the grooves or designated areas.

Step 6: Wall Anchoring
Crucial Safety Step: Secure the shelving unit to the wall using the provided wall attachment hardware. This prevents tip-over accidents.
