STEP 1

1. Attach the Rack Top to the top ends of the Side Panels (universal: same left/right & top/bottom)
using 1 1/4” #8 wood screws. MAKE SURE YOU HAVE THE RACK TOP! The only difference
between the Rack Top and the Cabinet Top is that the Cabinet Top has 4 small pilot holes on the

bottom side plus the 4 through holes; whereas, the Rack Top only has the 4 through holes.

NOTE: On the Rack Top the countersunk (reamed out) through holes face up and the countersunk
holes/pilot holes on the Cabinet Top face down. The countersunk holes allow the screw heads to be
ush with the wood surface when tightened down.

2. Turn this assembly upside down so that the Rack Top is on a smooth at surface. Attach the
Cabinet Top with four 1 1/4” #8 wood screws. With the unit upside down at this point, the 4 pilot holes

should be up. See illustration 1B.

3. Leave this assembly UPSIDE DOWN and go to STEP 2.
NOTE: The cart cabinet will be constructed upside down

using the bottom of the Cart Top as the base.

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
