See Detail C.
Turn the side panels so their inside surface is up. Install shelf clips (#17) into the inside surface of both side panels and
both sides of the center panels.
NOTE:
The panels are large and hard to keep aligned when you attach them together with screws. Because of this, in several of
the following steps you will be told to “peg” the parts first by inserting wood dowels (#6). These dowels fit snugly into existing
5/16"-diameter holes in the panels, and may have to be tapped into place.
4. Insert wood dowels into the side edges of the top panel (#20), the top edge and notch of the center panels, and the backside of the
front stretcher panel (#25).
