Step-by-step assembly

Step 1
Screw an adjustable foot (195313) into each of the 4 legs.
Lay the legs on a rug.

Step 2 · manual step 2–3
Stand the legs up and join them with the 4 rails.
Long rails front and back, short rails at the sides — check the brackets, manual step 2.

Step 3 · manual step 4
Fix the rails with 8 bolts (115461) and the Allen key.
Use 115461 here — not the longer 105103.

Step 4 · manual step 5–6
Lay the bottom frame on top. Fix it with 6 bolts (115461).
4 bolts in step 5, then 2 more in step 6.

Step 5 · manual step 7
Stand the 4 posts on the corners. Fix each with a bolt (105103).
The long 105103 bolts go in here, with the Allen key.

Step 6 · manual step 8
Lower the bottom plate into the frame.

Step 7 · manual step 9
Fit the back strip. Fix it at the bottom with 1 screw (100404).
Use the Phillips screwdriver.

Step 8 · manual step 10–11
Put the top frame on. Fix it with 4 bolts (115461).

Step 9 · manual step 12
Fix the top of the back strip with 1 screw (100404).

Step 10 · manual step 13
Fit the back glass: top edge up into the groove first.
Then swing the bottom in and push it down into place. Two people. Never stand glass on a hard edge.

Step 11 · manual step 14
Hold the back glass with 3 clips (10003221) on the strip.
One screw (100404) in each clip.

Step 12 · manual step 15
Fit the right side glass the same way.
Push it up into the top groove, then swing the bottom in and down.

Step 13 · manual step 16
Screw 4 shelf supports (10003241) to the right-hand posts.
1 screw (100404) each — check the holes in the manual, step 16.

Step 14 · manual step 17
Fit the left side glass the same way.

Step 15 · manual step 18–19
Screw on the other 8 shelf supports (10003241).
4 on the left posts (step 18), then 4 for the middle shelf (step 19).

Step 16 · manual step 20–21
Check every pane sits in its groove. Tighten the top screws.
The 4 bolts in the top with the Allen key, then the strip screw at the back.

Step 17 · manual step 22
Lay the doors face down. Fit a latch (195311) on each.
2 screws (100408) per latch, at the top outer corner.

Step 18 · manual step 23
Push the 2 hinge pins (151059) into the bottom frame.
One at each front corner.

Step 19 · manual step 24–25
Set each door on its pin, then lock it at the top.
Slide the latch up into the top frame and push in the pin (195362).

Step 20 · manual step 26–27
Fit the handles (10002580): 2 screws (100404) each.
The screws go in from the inside of the door. The key (10002394) fits the lock.

Step 21 · manual step 28
Turn the feet until the doors line up at the top.
Check with a spirit level.

Step 22 · manual step 29
Fix the cabinet to the wall with the 2 brackets (106989).
1 screw (100404) per bracket into the top. Wall screws are not included.

Step 23 · manual step 30
Open the doors and lay in the 3 shelves.
They rest on the 12 supports.
Tips & safety
- Always fix MILSBO to the wall. Furniture tip-over can cause serious or fatal crushing injuries. Use screws and plugs suited to your wall.
- Taking a door off? Slide the latch at the top of the door down to free it — see the manual, page 34.
