STEP 1
A. Decide which side to put the towel bar on. Attach a Glide Support Stick to the top of each Side
Panel using 1 1/4” #8 screws. The countersunk holes (reamed out) in the stick are positioned as
in illustration 1 so that the glide holes are toward the lower edge. Sticks should be ush with top of
panel.
B. Attach the cabinet glide of the Drawer Glide 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 Table Top Stick.
C. Attach the “L” brackets to the top of the glide supports using 5/8” #7 screws. Use the slot, the
side with the hole is used to attach the table top. The top of the “L” bracket should be even with the
top edge of the glide support stick.
Note: Glides are marked right/left with imprint behind wheel.

through the holes in the side panels, 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.
C. Look ahead to step 5 which shows side panels
attached to back panel. Glide wheels toward the front.
Note: Make sure you position the side panels according
to drawer side left or right.

drop leaf supports using 5/8 #8 screws.
