Now that the cabinet frames are in place, it’s
time to add shelving, lighting, drawers and other
accessories. All cabinet frames have predrilled
holes for quick and easy installation of shelving,
drawers and other interior accessories. This also
makes it simple to make adjustments or add
accessories later on!

The Step 6 poster provides instructions for:
• Installing cover panels
• Installing lighting
• Fitting shelves
• Attaching knobs and handles
• Installing drawers

The poster also shows an overview of the various
accessories that can be installed.
For complete details, you’ll need to follow the
instructions included in each package.
