STEP 1

The “L” brackets are attached to the Glide Support using the large slot in the “L” bracket.

Glide Support Assembly

Decide at this point if you want the handle/towel bar on the right or the left side of the cabinet as
side panels are interchangeable. At this point the metal glides will determine left side/right side once
installed.

The Hole will be used to attach the table top.

Top of “L” Bracket should be even with the top of the glide support

Note: Glide holes sometimes change, just make

The glides look almost alike;
however, they are stamped
CR for cabinet right and CL

STEP 2

A. Lay back panel at on a smooth surface with holes up.

B. We placed the handle/towel bar on the right for these

through the holes in the long edges of the back panel, place a

hex nut on the tip of your nger, align nut with bolt and tighten.

D. Look ahead to step 3 which shows side panels attached
to back panel.

NOTE: Back panel is ush with bottom of side panels.
