TIPS for getting started

block to protect the frame.
• If assembling on tile or wood, take care to protect the floor.
STEP 1
Position the Side Panels with the runners facing inward.

STEP
Using a plastic mallet, tap the Bottom T-Crossbars into the bottom of each
Side Panel.

STEP
Put a Back Stop Pin in the back holes of the top runners. The remaining
Back Stop Pins should be put in place just prior to sliding in the Drawers.

If using a Melamine Top, tap the Top L-Crossbars completely into each Side
Panel. Place adhesive strips included in the packaging on the top L-Crossbars.
Align the Melamine Top with the crossbars and press firmly.

each Side Panel.
