Push 2 dowels (101350) into the end of the middle panel.
Lay the panels out on a rug.

Tighten it with the Allen key.

Step 3
Screw 12 cam bolts (118331) into the panels.
3 in each side panel and 6 in the top panel.

Step 4

Step 10 · manual step 11
Push 5 dowels into the panel ends and fit the top panel.

Step 11 · manual step 12
Insert 6 cam locks (118137) and turn them clockwise.
This pulls the top panel tight.

Step 12 · manual step 13–15
Build the base: rail and 2 legs.
4 cam bolts (118331) in the legs, 2 dowels in the rail, then lock with 2 cam locks.

Step 16 · manual step 20

Step 17 · manual step 21
Tap the 2 glides (153552) into the legs with a hammer.

Build all 4 compartments the same way.

Step 23 · manual step 29
Hook each compartment into the cabinet and tilt it closed.

Tips & safety
- Always fix STÄLL to the wall. Furniture tip-over can cause serious or fatal crushing injuries. Use the 2 screws through the back rail (steps 22–23).
- Choose fixings that suit your wall. Plugs 121714: solid and hollow walls (8 mm drill). Solid wood: screws only (3 mm drill). Unsure? Ask a specialist.
