with the loops is facing up.

2. Align the tabs in the cabinet top (P2) with the loops in the

cabinet side (P1). Slide the cabinet top between the edges of

Tools Needed:

■ ¹⁄₂" Wrench ■ Phillips screwdriver

Tools Supplied:

■ Hex key

IMPORTANT:

■ Two people may be required to complete the assembly.

■ The cabinet top (P2) is intentionally designed so that the tabs

will only match with the loops on the sides when it is
positioned correctly. If the tabs on the cabinet top do not
match up with the loops on the side panel (P1), turn the
cabinet top around.

3. Align the two holes in each corner. Using hex-head bolts (F1),

fasten the side panel (P1) to the top (P2) as shown. Do not
tighten completely.

4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 for the other cabinet side (P1).

5. With the smooth side toward the cabinet interior, align the
