STEP 1 1. Attach the Rack Top to the top ends of the Side Panels (universal: same left/right & top/bottom) using 1 1/4” #8 wood screws. MAKE SURE YOU HAVE THE RACK TOP! The only difference between the Rack Top and the Cabinet Top is that the Cabinet Top has 4 small pilot holes on the bottom side plus the 4 through holes; whereas, the Rack Top only has the 4 through holes.
STEP 2 Note: The side panels are interchangeable at this point. Drawer glides will determine left or right sides. Choose at this point if you want the towel bar/handle on the left or right panel. We are using the left side for these instructions. Cover photo shows towel bar/handle on right side. A. Attach a Glide Support Stick to the top of each Side Panel using 1 1/4” #8 screws. The Sticks should be flush with top of panel. B.
STEP 3 A. Lay Back Panel flat on a smooth surface with holes up. B. Attach Side Panels with 1 3/4” bolts and hex nuts. After inserting bolts(s) thru the holes in the Side Panels, thru the holes in the long edges of the Back Panel, place a hex nut on the tip of your finger, align nut with bolt and tighten. C. Look ahead to step 5 which shows side panels attached to back panel. NOTE: Make sure you position the side panels according to Drawer Glides (left or right).
STEP 5 A. Turn the side/back assembly (from step 1) upside down (invert) on top of the inverted table top. B. Using the (X) marks from step 4 as a guide, insert the tips of the 5/8” #7 screws through the slots in “L” bracket and into the pilot holes in the unit top and finger tighten. When all 4 screws are properly aligned, tighten down. C. Tap two 1” pins into each side panel. These pins will hold the bottom shelf.
STEP 6 A. Attach the drawer back to the drawer sides with four 1 1/4” #8 screws. Make sure parts are aligned as in illustration 6A. B. Insert drawer bottom into the slots in the drawer sides, best side to inside of drawer. Slide down until seated in the slot in the drawer back. See illustration 6B. C. Screw the cam posts into the two outside holes on the inside face of the drawer front until seated. Only 3/8” of the post goes into the wood, leaving the 4 larger guide rings/head exposed.
STEP 7 Take the 2 front braces and tap/insert one 3/4” steel pin into each end of both braces until seated. About 3/8” will stick out when seated. Ok if loose. 4 used in this step 3/4” Long 3/16” DIA. Steel Pin STEP 8 A. Take the top front brace (with magnet block), insert the pins in the brace ends into the slots on the inside of the front legs and slide down until the brace aligns with the bolt hoes as illustrated. The pin holes for the door pins and the magnet block will be up.
STEP 9 Attach handle/towel bar to side panel with 1” #8 screws/washer from inside one panel. 2 used in this step 1” Phillips Flat Head #8 Screw 2 used in this step 3/16” Flat Washer STEP 10 A. Tap/insert ONE 1 1/2” pin into each end of both doors. DON’T OVERDRIVE PINS! Pins should stick up about 1/2” when seated. B. Attach the doorspacer to the left door with 5/8” #8 screws. The spacer has a space at the top to allow magnet clearance and is almost flush with the bottom of the door.
STEP 11 A. Install doors by inserting pins in the door tops into the holes in the long edge of the top front brace. B. Place one washer on each of the door pins in the door bottoms. C. Take the bottom front brace, align pins in the door bottoms with holes along top long edge of brace (are washers on pins?) and secure brace with 1 3/4” bolt/hex nuts as before. 2 Used in this step 10-24 Hex Nut 2 Used in this step 3/16” Flat Washer 1 3/4” Phillips Flat Head Bolt 2 Used in this step STEP 12 A.

Insert casters and seat by pushing straight downward with heel or your hand, or tap into place with a hammer. Don’t be afraid to give them a good downward whack on the solid metal part of the caster!
