Pound 8-32 screw inserts (#10 oyster) into the four holes located at the bottom front corner of both panels.
The inserts will be used later for side levelers.
4. There are thirty holes in each side panel that will be used in step 21 below for shelf support bar screws.
Use a plastic mallet to pound

-20 screw inserts (#9 oyster) into all of these holes.
5. Pound

The inserts will be used later for cleats.
6. To protect corners and edges while moving the cabinet into place, push or hammer plastic tack glides (#13, not shown) into the
bottom edge of the side panel, about 4" from the corners.
7. Flip the side panel over and attach a side leveler (#91) towards the front of the panel using two

9. Repeat steps 1 through 9 on the left-hand side panel (23).
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

"-diameter holes in the panels, and may have to be tapped into place.
10. Insert wood dowels into the side edges of the top panel (#20) and the top edge of the top front stretcher panel (#48).
11. Attach the top front stretcher (48) to the top panel (#20) using 2" hex-socket screws (#2 oyster).

12. Turn the side panels on edge, with their front edges down. With the wood dowels, peg the side panels to the top panel.
Then attach the side panels to the side edges of the top panel and the ends of the top front stretcher panel with
2" hex-socket screws (#2 oyster).
Tighten the screws using the allen wrench or bit packed with these instructions.
13. Peg the two back panels (#21) together, and attach them to the side and top panels, using 2" hex-socket screws (#2 oyster).
NOTE:
The pilot holes at the top of the top back panel face outside of the cabinet and
the pilot holes at the bottom of the bottom back panel face inside of the cabinet.
14. For support, temporarily attach one shelf support bar (#43) to the bottom of the side panels using

Attach the other edge of the bracket to the back panel.
After the brackets are attached, screw the levelers in so the plastic glides extend slightly further than the bottom of the levelers.
