6. ATTACH TOP SHELF.
Attach the top shelf (G) by centering
the shelf over the island to ensure
overhang is equal on opposites sides.
Slide 2x2 x 20" (I) top attachment
to insides of leg and clamp to top.
Repeat for the other side. Flip island
over and screw wood to the top with
2" DSV screws.
7. ATTACH BOTTOM SHELF.
Clamp bottom shelf (H) to bottom
rails. Turn island over and place
A21 connectors midway along each
bottom rail. For each connector, screw
two 1" pan-head wood screws into rail
and two more into bottom of shelf.
Note: installation is easier if wood
staining and painting of RTC2Z is
done before assembly.
