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.

, tap the Top L-Crossbars completely into

each Side Panel.

Assemble the top Frame completely. (See Steps 1 and 2 above.)

If using Back Stop Pins, put one in the back of the left and right top runners
of the bottom Frame.

Lower the top frame onto the bottom frame, making sure the Back Stop
Pins are all on the back side. Secure by firmly tapping each corner of
the top frame until Bottom T-Crossbars are completely inserted into the
