Safety Information

Read all instructions before assembly. Use proper tools.

Tip-over prevention: This wardrobe must be securely anchored to the wall using the provided wall attachment brackets and screws to prevent tipping, which can cause serious or fatal injury.
Assembly surface: Assemble on a soft, clean surface (e.g., carpet, blanket) to avoid scratching panels.
Lifting: Wardrobe is heavy; use two people for lifting and moving.
Children: Keep children away during assembly. Do not allow climbing on doors or shelves.
Tools: Use supplied Allen key and screwdriver. Do not overtighten screws.

WARNING! Failure to secure wardrobe to wall can result in serious injury or death.

Assembly Instructions

Follow steps in order. Allow 60-90 minutes for assembly.

Prepare panels: Lay side panels (A, B) flat with pre-drilled holes facing up.
Insert dowels: Insert wood dowels (M) into pre-drilled holes on side panels as shown in diagram.
Attach bottom panel: Align bottom panel (D) with side panels; connect using cam lock screws (L). Tighten with Allen key.
Attach top panel: Attach top panel (C) to side panels using remaining cam lock screws.
Install back panel: Place wardrobe frame upright. Position back panel (E) into grooves; secure with provided nails or screws (if included).
Install hanging rail: Insert hanging rail (I) into brackets on side panels; secure with screws.
Install shelves: Place adjustable shelves (H) on shelf supports at desired height.
Attach door rails: Screw top door guide rail (J) to inside top of wardrobe. Attach bottom door guide rail (K) to floor of wardrobe interior.

Tip: Do not fully tighten cam locks until all panels are aligned.

Installation & Leveling

Ensure wardrobe is level and plumb for proper door operation.

Position wardrobe in desired location against wall.
Use a spirit level to check that top panel is level side-to-side and front-to-back.
If uneven, adjust by placing shims under bottom panel.
Wall attachment: Locate wall studs. Position wall attachment brackets (N) at top rear of wardrobe. Screw brackets into wall studs using provided screws (O). Ensure wardrobe is flush to wall.

CAUTION! Do not skip wall attachment. Use proper wall anchors if not attaching to studs.

Door Adjustment

Sliding doors may require adjustment for smooth operation.

Install doors: Tilt door (F) and hook top wheels into top guide rail (J). Lower door so bottom guide fits into bottom rail (K). Repeat for second door (G).
Height adjustment: Use Allen key to turn adjustment screw at bottom of door to raise/lower door. Doors should glide smoothly without dragging.
Alignment: Adjust side rollers (if present) so doors are parallel and gaps are even.
Stopping position: Adjust door stoppers on top rail so doors do not come off track when fully opened.

Note: Doors may need slight adjustment after initial use as they settle.
