How do the dowels and Minifix system work?
This is so important too! Every time you're using one of these connectors during the assembly, you should follow these same steps.
Wood dowels
They are little wooden cylinders.
- Insert the dowel inside the indicated hole and softly hit it until it's fully inside.
- When joining two panels together, don't forget to gently hit the panels to adjust the joint.
Minifix system
It's a joint compound of two parts: a spreading bolt and a Minifix cam.
- This is a Minifix cam. It has a little arrow on its upper surface.
- You should insert these cams with the little arrow pointing towards the drilling on the panel's edge (shown on the left).
- This is a spreading bolt. You should put it with the black plastic part facing down.
- After joining two panels together, you should turn the cams 180° with a Phillips head screwdriver to adjust and secure the joint.
Let's start assembling!
You can see the last page of this manual to have a full look of the panels of this cabinet.
Step 1
Prepare panel B by inserting dowels and spreading bolts into the designated holes.
Step 2
Attach two panels labeled 'F' to panel B. Insert dowels into holes and secure with Minifix cams.
Step 3
Attach two more panels labeled 'F' to panel B. Arrows indicate insertion points. Then, turn the assembled section over.
Step 4
Install drawer slides on panel E. The wheel should face the front edge and point downwards. Attach slides using flat head screws. Then, turn this panel over.
Step 5
Connect panels F, B, and E. Arrows indicate insertion points.
Step 6
Install drawer slides on panel C. Refer back to step 4 for slide installation. Attach slides using flat head screws.
Step 7
Prepare panels O and Q by inserting dowels and spreading bolts.
Step 8
Prepare panel S by inserting dowels and spreading bolts.
Step 9
Attach panels S, Q, and O to panel C. Arrows indicate insertion points.
Step 10
Assemble the main cabinet structure. Connect panels B, E, S, Q, and C using the previously installed hardware.
Step 11
Prepare panel D by inserting dowels, spreading bolts, and attaching hinges.
Step 12
Prepare panels P and R by inserting dowels and spreading bolts.
Step 13
Attach panels P and R to panel D.
Step 14
Connect the two main cabinet sections: the D/P/R assembly and the B/E/S/Q/C assembly. Arrows indicate insertion points.
Step 15
Slide the two back panels labeled 'N' into the grooves of the assembled cabinet. Arrows indicate direction. Turn the cabinet over very carefully.
Step 16
Prepare panel A by inserting spreading bolts.
Step 17
Attach panel A to the top of the assembled cabinet. Arrows indicate insertion points.
Step 18
Install Back Panel Supports and Corner Supports.
- Insert back panel supports between the groove and the back panel (N). Fix them with 3/4" flat head screws.
- Install Corner Supports inside the cabinet, specifically in the lower corners. Fix them with 9/16" flat head screws.
Step 19
Fix your cabinet to the wall.
- On the wall, measure and mark the points shown in the diagram.
- Drill on the markings with a 5/16" drill bit.
- Insert the wall anchors inside the drillings.
- Place the cabinet and secure it with the screws.
Diagram shows dimensions: 9.21 inches, 17.40 inches, 9.21 inches horizontally, and 2.58 inches and 34.31 inches vertically.
Step 20
Prepare drawer panels I and H by inserting spreading bolts.
Step 21
Assemble drawer parts I, J, and H. Use drywall screws (2") to connect them.
Step 22
Slide the back panel into the grooves for drawer assembly. This involves panels M, I, J, and H.
Step 23
Prepare drawer part K by inserting spreading bolts and attaching a handle.
Step 24
Assemble the drawer box. Connect panels M, K, I, and J. Arrows indicate insertion points.
Step 25
Putting the drawers in. The wheel on the drawer slides should go on the rear part of the drawer. Slide the assembled drawer into the cabinet.
Step 26
Slide the drawer inside the cabinet.
Step 27
Assembling and setting up the door. Attach hinges to doors (G, L) and cabinet sides (C, D). Perform hinge adjustments: Depth adjustment, Lateral adjustment, Height adjustment, Front screws adjustment. After adjusting all Minifix cams, cover them up with the cover caps. After finishing the assembly, lift off all the adhesive letters.
How much weight does my cabinet resist?
The cabinet can resist the following weights:
- Top surface: 22 lbs
- Drawers: 11 lbs each

Congratulations! It's done. But don't go yet! There are some recommendations left for you to take care of your cabinet correctly from now on.
