  1. Prepare: Unpack all parts and hardware. Check against the parts list. Lay out parts on a soft surface.

  3. Attach Back Panel: Place the back panel into the grooves on the side and bottom panels. Secure with the provided screws.
  4. Install Top Panel: Position the top panel onto the assembled frame. Secure from underneath using the cam lock system or screws as indicated.
  5. Install Drawer Runners: Attach the drawer runner halves to the inside of the cabinet sides according to the markings. Ensure they are level and at the same height on both sides.
  6. Assemble Drawers: Connect the drawer sides to the drawer front and back using the cam locks. Insert the drawer bottom into the grooves and secure.
  7. Attach Drawer Handles (if applicable): Screw handles into the pre-drilled holes on the drawer fronts.

Drawer Installation & Adjustment

Ensuring smooth drawer operation.

  1. After inserting the drawer, open and close it to test the glide.
  2. If the drawer is uneven or sticks, check that the runner halves are securely attached and aligned.
  3. Most runners have a small lever or tab for removal. To adjust, press the lever and pull the drawer out.
  4. Re-insert by aligning the runner and pushing firmly until it clicks into place.
  5. Some models feature a stop mechanism to prevent the drawer from being pulled all the way out accidentally.

Note: Do not overload drawers beyond the specified weight limit to ensure longevity and smooth operation.

Care & Maintenance

To keep your chest looking new.

CAUTION! Never soak the furniture or allow liquid to pool on surfaces or enter seams.

Wall Attachment

THIS STEP IS MANDATORY FOR SAFETY.

  1. Decide on the final placement of the chest against the wall.
  2. Locate the wall stud(s) using a stud finder. The chest must be anchored into solid wood or masonry.
  3. Attach the provided wall bracket(s) to the back of the chest in the indicated, pre-drilled locations.
  4. Position the chest against the wall. Mark the screw holes for the bracket on the wall through the bracket.
  5. Move the chest aside. Drill pilot holes into the wall stud(s) at the marked locations.
  6. Place the chest back in position. Secure the bracket to the wall using the provided screws and wall plugs (if needed for drywall/masonry). Ensure it is tight and secure.
  7. Gently test the stability of the chest.
