SINGLE HUTCH
1.
Prior to assembling a hutch unit, ensure the unit will fit over any existing baseboard trim.
(Notch clearance is 5-5/8” high by 1-1/16” deep.) If vertical panels will not fit over existing
baseboard, trim to fit before proceeding with assembly.
NOTE: Use a blanket or other cloth
underneath panels if you are work-
ing on a hardwood or tiled floor to
prevent scratches on the melamine
surface.
3.
Insert 2 screw-in studs
(or double-sided studs, if
appropriate for design) for
each fixed shelf (Fig. 1A)
into the appropriate,
corresponding holes in
the first vertical panel.
4.
Fit the shelves over the
screw-in studs (Fig. 1C).
Fit the cleats/toekick
(Fig. 1D) into appropri-
ate dowel holes and press
until snug with the first
vertical panel.
Tighten the cams.
NOTE: If you are installing an adjacent hutch, see "Toe Kick" in Shelving/Tower Assembly" section
for instructions on
side-by-side toe kick assembly.
4.
Insert the screw-in studs (or double-sided studs) for each fixed shelf into the second vertical
panel. (See Fig. 1E.)
5. Lay the second vertical panel with the screw-in studs over the exposed cleat dowels and press
together gently, fitting the camlocks over the screw-in studs carefully, until all pieces fit snugly.
Tighten the camlocks. (See Fig. 1F.)
6. Insert and fasten the HiLow screw into each hole provided for the cleats/toekick on one
vertical panel. (See Fig. 1G.) Add fast caps over all fastened HiLow screws. Gently roll the
“box” over onto its back and repeat the fastening of screws and fast caps on the other partition.

2.
Place one vertical
panel on a protec-
tive surface on the
floor with its inside
facing up. (See Fig.
1A.)
7.
If you have upgrades or accessories you prefer to attach to the unit prior to standing it up,
we recommend you fasten drawer or basket runners now, or door hinges. (See appropriate
upgrade or accessory assembly instructions for details.)
8.
Stand up the hutch tower. Place the hutch in its final position in the closet. (This step may
require the assistance of a second installer to maneuver the hutch under a soffit and/or around
sliding doors in the closet.)
