STEP 1
ASSEMBLE SIDE PANELS
A. Each side panel consists of two (2) legs, one (1) top side
brace and one (1) glide support brace. When assembled,
diagonal legs will be the same (i.e. Front Right/Back Left &
Front Left/Back Right). Side panels are identical when
assembled -- the drawer glides will determine left and right
sides.
B. Tap a 3/4” pin in each end of the top side braces. Take
each of the 4 legs and install one (1) bastion post per leg, on
the side of the leg which also has two (2) pin holes for the
glide support sticks. Locate post holes. Tap posts in with
hammer until threads engage wood; turn posts down until
the solid shaft hits the wood (all threads are into wood), then
back post out until the hole in the post is perpendicular to
the long length of the leg (about 1/2 turn).
C. Lay out Front Left leg, one (1) top side brace and back
left leg as in Illustration 1A. Note the two pilot holes for the L
brackets are along the top inside of the top side brace.
D. Take the top side brace and drop a barrel-shaped bronze
bastion nut into the nut access hole as illustrated. Threaded
end of the nut faces out. Insert front left leg post into the
hole in the end of the brace, through the side of the barrel
nut, until the hole in the post can be seen through the
threaded end of the nut. Insert the set screw into the nut
and tighten down. The tip of the set screw will seek the
center of the bastion post as it is tightened, leaving a tight
joint. If the joint is loose, check to make sure the set screw is
not cross-threaded or that the post is out too far (not
threaded into leg deep enough.) See Instructions for
Bastions illustrations on page 3 for clarrification of assembly.
E. Insert two 3/4” pins into each end of the glide support
brace. Insert brace pins into the holes on the inside of the
left front leg as illustrated (4 pilot holes out).
F. Attach Back Left leg in same manner.
G. Repeat for other side panel.

5/8” #6 screws.

STEP 7
INSERT LEVELER FEET
A. Hammer the threaded T-bolt into the predrilled hole on the bottom of
each leg. Screw the leveler into the T-bolt. Height of each of four levelers
can be adjusted to stablize entire unit.

Assemble Drawers
A. Attach the Drawer Back to the Left and Right Drawer Sides with four 1 ¼”#8 Screws. Make

accept the Drawer Bottom.

D. Insert the
B-Nuts into the nut
access holes on the inside of
the Drawer Sides with the threaded
end facing out. Take the Drawer Front and
carefully insert the Posts into the ends of the
Brace Sides, through the sides of the B-Nut until
seated. Push Nut snugly against the wood in
the nut access hole toward the Drawer Front.
Hole should be slightly off-center toward the
Drawer Front. Insert the Set Screw and tighten
down. The Drawer Sides should be tight against
the Drawer Front.
Illustration 8D
C. Take two (2) Bastion Posts, align the threaded
ends of the Posts with the post holes located near the
ends of the inside Drawer Front. Tighten Posts
down until the solid shaft of the Post hits the wood.
Back Post out until the hole/screwdriver slot in the
end of the Post is parallel and in direct line with the
long edges of the Drawer Front.
E. Attach the Drawer Glides (left and
Right) to the Drawer Sides using two
7/16” #6 Pan Head Screws per glide.
Open end of glide goes toward the back
of the drawer. DO NOT INSERT DRAWER
INTO CABINET AT THIS TIME.

STEP 9
ATTACH TOWEL BAR
See Illustrations 10 and 11. Screw Nickel Plated Towel Bar Posts into the drawer
front using 1-1/4” #8 screws. Attach pipe holder by sliding supports over posts
and secure with tiny set screws using allen wrench provided. Set screws go
toward bottom of draw. Slide towel bar through holes in supports and secure in
place with set screws. Bar should be equidistant on either side of the supports.
Tap end caps into place. See illustration 12.

STEP 10
INSERT DRAWER
A. Align the drawer glides attached to the drawer and the other half of the glides attached to
the glide support braces. Slide the drawer all the way in until you hear an audible click. The
drawer should now be secured to the glides.
