Safety Instructions

WARNING! Read all instructions before assembly. Failure to follow may result in injury or damage.

Work Area: Assemble on clean, flat, protected surface to avoid scratches.
Lifting: Cabinet is heavy. Use two people for lifting and positioning.
Children & Pets: Keep away from assembly area. Small parts are choking hazards.
Secure Assembly: Tighten all screws and fittings securely to ensure stability.
Wall Mounting: If applicable, secure cabinet to wall studs using appropriate brackets (not always included).

CAUTION! Do not stand or sit on the cabinet. It is designed for storage, not as a seat or step.

Assembly Step-by-Step

Follow steps in order. Do not overtighten screws.

Attach Legs: Screw the four adjustable legs into the pre-drilled holes at the bottom corners of the cabinet frame.
Install Back Panel: Align back panel with frame and secure using provided screws.
Assemble Drawer Runners: Attach drawer runners to the inside of the cabinet frame as per markings.
Install Shelf (if applicable): Insert adjustable shelf onto support pins at desired height.
Mount Hinges: Attach soft-closing hinges to the door panels using included screws.
Hang Doors: Mount doors to the cabinet frame. Adjust hinges for proper alignment and gap.
Attach Drawer Front: Slide drawer box into runners. Attach drawer front to drawer box, ensuring it is level and aligned with doors.
Final Check: Open and close all doors and drawers to ensure smooth operation. Adjust legs to level the cabinet.

Tip: Leave doors and drawers slightly loose during initial assembly for final alignment adjustments.

Sink & Plumbing Installation

The cabinet top is not included. You must install a countertop and sink separately.

Position Cabinet: Place assembled cabinet in its final location, ensuring access to plumbing.
Cutout Template: Use the provided template to mark the sink and faucet cutout on your countertop.
Install Countertop: Secure the countertop to the cabinet frame using appropriate brackets or adhesive.
Connect Plumbing: A licensed plumber should connect water supply lines and drain to the sink, running pipes through the pre-cut openings in the cabinet back or shelf.
Seal Edges: Apply a bead of silicone sealant between the sink and countertop, and between the countertop and wall, to prevent water damage.

WARNING! Ensure all plumbing connections are tight and leak-free before regular use.

Adjustments & Leveling

Proper leveling prevents door swing and ensures drawer function.

Leg Adjustment: Turn legs clockwise to raise, counterclockwise to lower. Use a level on the cabinet top.
Door Alignment: Use a hex key to adjust hinges in/out, up/down, and side-to-side.
Drawer Alignment: Adjust the screws on the drawer runners to ensure the drawer front is flush with the cabinet frame.
Soft-Close Adjustment: Some hinges have a screw to adjust closing speed. Turn slowly to set desired speed.

Care & Maintenance

Proper care will extend the life of your cabinet.

Cleaning: Wipe with a damp, soft cloth. Use mild soap if needed. Dry immediately.
Avoid: Abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, ammonia-based products, or excessive water.
Wood Care: The finish is water-resistant, not waterproof. Wipe spills promptly. Avoid prolonged moisture exposure.
Hardware: Periodically check and tighten screws, especially on hinges and runners.

CAUTION! Do not use steam cleaners or place hot objects directly on surfaces.
