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.

Note: The side panels are interchangeable at this point. Drawer glides will determine left or right
sides. Choose at this point if you want the towel bar/handle on the left or right panel. We are using the
left side for these instructions. Cover photo shows towel bar/handle on right side.

A. Attach a Glide Support Stick to the top of each Side Panel using 1 1/4” #8 screws. The Sticks

should be ush with top of panel.

B. Attach the cabinet glide of the Drawer Glides to the Glide Support Stick using 5/8” #7 at head

screws. Left glide to left Side Panel, right glide to right Side Panel. The glides look almost alike
however, the right glide (as you face the cart) has a rolled lip at the top of the glide that keeps the

drawer glide wheel in place. Line up the holes in the glides so that the end with the wheel comes ush

with the front edge of the Glide Support Stick.
C. Attach the “L” brackets to the top of the glide supports using 5/8” #7 screws. Use the long slot

rather than hole/slot. The hole will be used to attach the table top. The “L” brackets should be ush

with the top of the glide support sticks.
Note: Cabinet drawer glides usually have an imprint “CL” or “CR” inside near the wheel.

STEP 3

Side Panels, thru 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.

C. Look ahead to step 5 which shows side panels
attached to back panel.

NOTE: Make sure you position the side panels
according to Drawer Glides (left or right).

Mark a Large (X) mark over each of the 4 pilot holes
in the bottom. Make marks about 1 1/2” long. These
marks will help you align the cabinet with the pilot
holes in step 5.

STEP 5

A. Turn the side/back assembly (from step 1) upside down (invert) on top of the inverted table top.
B. Using the (X) marks from step 4 as a guide, insert the tips of the 5/8” #7 screws through the “L”

bracket and into the pilot holes in the unit top and nger tighten. When all 4 screws are properly

aligned, tighten down.
C. Tap two 1” pins into each side panel. These pins will hold the bottom shelf.
