Tools not included that you will need:

• Phillips screwdriver
• Hammer (for wall anchors)
• Level
• Tape measure

Safety Instructions

Read all instructions before beginning assembly.

1. Assemble on a soft, clean surface to avoid scratches.
2. Keep small parts away from children and pets.
3. Use two people for lifting and positioning large panels.
4. Ensure the unit is securely anchored to the wall to prevent tipping.
5. Do not exceed the maximum weight limit for shelves.

WARNING! Failure to secure the unit to the wall can result in serious injury or death from tipping.

Step-by-Step Assembly

Follow these steps in order. Do not fully tighten connectors until all parts are aligned.

1. Step 1: Lay the main panels (Part 10012345) flat. Insert dowel pins (10012350) into the pre-drilled holes on the sides.
2. Step 2: Attach the side panels (10012346) to the main panels using the dowel pins. Align carefully.
3. Step 3: Insert cam lock screws (10012349) into the designated holes on the side panels.
4. Step 4: Place the cam lock nuts (10012348) on the opposite side and tighten using the Allen key (10012352). Hand-tighten only at this stage.
5. Step 5: Once the frame is square, fully tighten all cam locks. Check for stability.
6. Step 6: Insert shelving boards (10012347) into the desired positions. They rest on the built-in shelf supports.

Tip: A soft mallet can help gently tap dowels and panels into place without damage.

Mounting & Installation

This unit must be secured to a wall stud or solid masonry using the provided wall anchor kit.

1. Position the assembled unit against the wall in its desired final location.
2. Use a level to ensure the unit is perfectly vertical and horizontal.
3. Mark the wall through the mounting holes on the back of the unit.
4. Drill pilot holes at the marked locations. For drywall, use the provided wall anchors.
5. Secure the unit to the wall using appropriate screws (not included for all wall types).
6. Double-check that the unit does not rock or tip forward.

CAUTION! Do not rely on drywall alone. Always anchor into a stud or use suitable heavy-duty wall anchors.
