Assembly
1 Preparing bottom cabinet assembly
NOTE: Do not fully tighten all bolts until you finish assembling all parts. Once assembled, go back and fully tighten all
bolts. This will make the assembly easier.
□ Unpack the unit and confirm that you have all the hardware and required parts. Assemble the unit on a carpeted
floor or the empty carton to avoid any scratches.
□ Securely screw the cam bolts (CC) into the designated small holes on the lower fixed shelf (C) and bottom panel (D)
using a Phillips screwdriver.
2 Gluing wood dowels
□ Glue the wood dowels (DD) into the designated holes on the lower fixed shelf (C) and bottom panel (D). It is very
important to use a small amount of glue on both ends of dowels and wipe off the excess glue immediately.
NOTE: Refer to the dowel guide drawings in this step for further clarification on how to properly glue in the
wooden dowels. Apply this method whenever instructed to install wood dowels.

Mounting closet to a stud wall to avoid tipping
□ Consider the proper position relative to your room and find the optimum place to mount your closet. Be sure
to leave the desired space to the other walls to set your expandable hanging poles. For safety purpose, the
maximum span of expandable hanging poles should not exceed 60”.
□ With assistance, lift the assembled unit upright and against the wall in the desired location. If necessary, adjust
the floor levelers pre-attached on both base stretchers (E) to correct tilting, until the unit is level. Draw a level line
on the wall at the desired height where the through holes on the top back stretcher (L) will line up properly.
□ Remove the closet and locate the position of the nearest studs with a stud finder and mark the outside edges and
center locations. Mark out two mounting hole location 16 inches apart on the level line you just drew on the wall.
NOTE: It is critical to mount your closet to the studs in your wall. We provide wall anchors (PP) to assist
you on the properly attachment to the wall. You must use wall anchors if no stud is present. Failure to
do so will result in a weakened installation and causing any accidents or damage.
□ Mount to wall stud: With an electric drill (not included) on its low setting, drill 1/8” (3.2mm) diameter holes to at
least 2½ inch (63.5mm) deep on the two marked points.
□ Mount to drywall without stud is present: With an electric drill (not included) on its low setting, drill 21/64” (8.3mm)
diameter holes through the gypsum board on the two marked points. Clean the holes from dust and insert one
wall anchor (PP) into each hole. Gently tap the wall anchors (PP) with a hammer until they are flush with the wall.
□ Replace the closet to against the wall in the desired location. Insert two 75mm wood screws (KK) through the
through holes on the top back stretcher (L) through two spacer blocks (LL) and securely screw into the inserted
wall anchors (PP) or the drilled holes in the wall stud.

Installing tipping restraint hardware
WARNING: Young children can be seriously injured by tipping furniture. You must install the tipping restraint hardware
with the unit to prevent the unit from tipping, causing any accidents or damage. The tipping restraints are intended only
as a deterrent, they are not a substitute for proper adult supervision. The tipping restraints are not earthquake restraints. If
you wish to add the extra security of earthquake restraints, they must be purchased and installed separately.
□ We provided one set of tipping restraint hardware kit for extra safety. Follow the instructions printed on the plastic
bag containing the tipping restraint hardware to attach the tip-over restraints to the unit and the wall.
27
Installing the fixed hanging pole
□ Position the fixed hanging pole (X) onto the installed open pole holders (A1) and lock it into place with two 16mm
self-tapping screws (II).
□ Plug the cam lock covers (MM) onto the visible cam locks to conceal the cams.

Installing pole holders for expandable poles
□ Using the pilot holes as a guide, attach 3 pole holders (A1) to the outside of the closet with nine 14mm screws (HH).
□ Rest the expandable poles onto the pole holders as reference to mount 3 pole holders (A1) at the same level on the
side walls. Use a level to make sure they are at the same level and the open cut of each pole holder (A1) faces up.
□ Using the pole holder (A1) as a template, mark out the corresponding drill points on the side walls with a pencil.
□ Mount to wall stud: With an electric drill (not included) on its low setting, drill 1/8” (3.2mm) diameter holes to at least
2½ inch (63.5mm) deep on the marked points.
□ Mount to drywall without stud is present: With an electric drill (not included) on its low setting, drill 21/64” (8.3mm)
diameter holes through the gypsum board on the marked points. Clean the holes from dust and insert one wall
anchor (PP) into each hole. Gently tap the wall anchors (PP) with a hammer until they are flush with the wall.
NOTE: It is critical to mount your pole holders to the studs in your wall. We provide wall anchors (PP)
to assist you on the properly attachment to the wall. You must use wall anchors if no stud is present.
Failure to do so will result in a weakened installation and causing any accidents or damage.
□ Secure the pole holders (A1) to the side walls with 65mm screws (JJ) provided.
29
Installing expandable hanging poles
□ Insert the expandable inner pole (Z) into each
of expandable outer poles (Y).
□ Position the combined poles onto the pole
holders (A1) installed and lock them into place
with six 16mm self-tapping screws (II).
