Assembly Steps
Step 1: Base Frame Assembly
Lay out four long panels on a protected surface. Join two long panels to two other long panels at right angles using dowels and screws, forming a rectangular base frame.

Insert wooden dowels (101339) into the pre-drilled holes on the edges of several shelf panels. Gently tap with a hammer if needed.
Step 3: Attaching Side Panels
Attach the side panels to the assembled base frame. Align the panels with the dowels and press them together. Arrows indicate the direction of insertion.
Step 4: Preparing More Shelves
Insert wooden dowels (101339) into the pre-drilled holes on the edges of additional shelf panels.
Step 5: Inserting Shelf Panels
Slide the prepared shelf panels into the frame, aligning them with the corresponding slots and dowels. Arrows indicate the insertion direction.
Step 6: Inserting Dowels into Further Shelves
Insert wooden dowels (101339) into the pre-drilled holes on the edges of more shelf panels.
Step 7: Adding Internal Dividers
Insert more shelf panels into the frame to form internal compartments. Arrows indicate the direction of insertion.
Step 8: Continuing Divider Assembly
Continue inserting shelf panels into the frame to build up the grid structure.
Step 9: Inserting Dowels into Remaining Shelves
Insert wooden dowels (101339) into the pre-drilled holes on the edges of the remaining shelf panels.
Step 10: Adding More Internal Dividers

Step 19: Attaching Stabilizers
Attach the three hexagonal stabilizer pieces (10002300, 10050334) to the back of the unit using screws.
Step 20: Final Placement and Wall Attachment Preparation
Carefully move the assembled unit to its final location. Use a spirit level to ensure it is straight. Prepare for wall attachment by identifying the correct mounting points and brackets.
Step 21: Wall Attachment - Furniture Bracket Installation
Attach the furniture brackets (103693) to the top rear of the unit using short screws (100372). The diagram shows the bracket being positioned and secured.
Step 22: Wall Attachment - Securing to Wall
Position the unit against the wall. Mark the wall through the holes in the furniture brackets. Drill holes in the wall and insert appropriate wall plugs (not included). Secure the unit to the wall using screws (not included) through the brackets.
Step 23: Final Wall Securing
