Assembly Instructions

Follow steps in order. Do not fully tighten screws until structure is square.

  1. Prepare Panels: Lay side panels (A, B) flat. Insert wooden dowels (K) into pre-drilled holes.
  2. Attach Bottom Panel: Connect bottom panel (E) to side panels using cam locks (I, J).
  3. Attach Back Panel: Slide back panel (C) into grooves on side and bottom panels.

  7. Install Shelves: Place adjustable shelves (F) on shelf support pins (pre-installed).
  8. Attach Doors: Hang door panels (G) by aligning hinges with mounting plates on side panels. Click into place.
  9. Attach Handles: Screw door handles (M) to doors using provided screws.
  10. Final Check: Ensure all cam locks are fully tightened with a quarter turn. Check that doors open and close smoothly.

Tip: Adjust door alignment using the screws on the hinges if doors are uneven.

Installation Guide

Position the cabinet in its final location before securing to the wall.

  1. Level the Cabinet: Use a spirit level on the top. Adjust the feet (L) by turning clockwise to raise or counter-clockwise to lower.
  2. Plan Wall Attachment: Locate wall studs using a stud finder. Mark drilling points on the cabinet's back panel (near the top).
  3. Secure to Wall: Use suitable wall anchors and screws (not included) that are appropriate for your wall type (drywall, plaster, etc.). Drive screws through the pre-drilled holes in the back panel and into the wall studs or anchors.
  4. Final Level Check: Re-check that the cabinet is level after securing.

CAUTION! Do not place heavy objects on open doors. Distribute weight evenly on shelves.

Adjustments & Leveling

Doors and shelves can be adjusted after installation.

Care & Maintenance

Proper care will maintain the appearance and function of your cabinet.

  1. Cleaning: Wipe surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. Use a mild soap solution if needed. Dry immediately.
  2. Avoid: Do not use abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or harsh chemicals. Avoid excessive water.
  3. Protection: Avoid placing hot items directly on surfaces. Use coasters under glasses and vases.
  4. Hardware Check: Periodically check that cam locks, hinges, and handles are secure. Tighten if necessary.

WARNING! Never drag the cabinet across the floor. Lift it to move.
