Step-by-step assembly

Step 1
Screw the 5 feet (152676) into the bottom panel.
Lay the bottom panel upside-down on the rug.

Step 2
Turn it over and screw in 6 connectors (10047135).
Screw them all the way in by hand — no thread may show.

Step 3

2 in each end.

Step 4
Screw the drawer runners onto the middle and right panels.
Runner CL on the middle panel, CR on the right side — 3 screws (146114) each.

Stand the 3 panels onto the bottom panel.
The connectors and dowels go into the holes in their lower ends.

Slide the 2 back panels down into the grooves.
Push them all the way down into the groove in the bottom panel.

- Doors not lined up? Turn the hinge screws to move each door sideways, in/out or up/down — see the manual, p. 36.
