A few important pointers before you start:
• Please read the instructions right through before you start, and
check that all the components have been included in the pack;
we nd separating all the hardware into piles makes it easier to
be sure that everything is present and correct.
• Make sure you have the right tools.Allen keys are provided
if required, but screw drivers and other tools are not.You’ll
nd details of the tools you need at the beginning of the
instructions.
• It’s a good idea to build the unit in the room where you are
going to be using it, to avoid the need to move it after it’s been
assembled.
• Do not throw away any packing materials until assembly is
complete, just in case you accidentally discard smaller parts or
hardware.

4x #4 Pivoting Cam Dowels
STEP 7:
Now attach the 4x feet (H) to the base panel (E).
Insert 4x wooden dowels (#3) into the inner hole of each hole set at the
corners of panel E.
Apply a foot (H) to the rst corner, using the wooden dowel to position
it and then secure in place using 1x crosshead bolt (#7).
Ensure the hardware is fully tightened, but do not over-tighten or use
power tools for this step or you risk driving the bolt through the base
panel.
Repeat with 3 remaining feet.
STEP 8:
Prepare the roof panels (G & I) by inserting 2x pivoting cam dowels (#4)
into the outer small holes of BOTH panels as shown.
The holes are drilled at an angle and it is best to insert the hardware at
the same angle as the hole.
The pivoting hardware is inserted using your ngers, not a tool.
Please ensure the thread on the cam dowel is fully inserted at the higher
point of the hole.
When fully inserted, please ensure the line of pivoting is parallel with the
longer sides of the roof panels.
Please take care as the hardware can mark the unit during insertion.
However, please note that this will not show in the nished unit.
Note: Some cracking around the drill hole is normal as the bolt bites into
the wood at an angle.This will be covered once the roof is attached to the
main body of the bookcase.

STEP 9:
Position the 2x roof panels (G & I) as shown with the recessed edges
acing up.Take the 2x double ended cam dowels (#5) and insert one
end into one roof panel, then insert the other end into the other panel
as you bring them together and connect them.
STEP 10:
To acheive the correct roof alignment, please follow this guidance. Do not
tighten one side of the roof hardware fully rst or it will not align.
Insert 4x cam locks (#1) into the large holes on the inside of the roof
panels (G & I).
Start with the upper set and tighten one cam lock on your chosen side a
quarter turn clockwise (to rst position).
Now tighten the opposite upper cam lock a quarter turn clockwise (to rst
position). Ensure that both have connected with the cam dowel hardware.
Now go to the lower set of cam locks and repeat the quarter turn on each
side.
Check that the roof is aligned and then fully tighten all four cam locks (to
nal position).

Hardware for Step 12:
18x #6 Back Panel Screws
STEP 11:
Prepare to attach the roof by inserting 4x wooden dowels (#3) into the
inner holes on the ends of both side panels (A & B).
Bring the completed roof (G & I) to the unit, keeping the recessed edges
facing up. Open out the pivoting cam dowels so they can be received by
the side panels and carefully push the roof into place using the wooden
dowels to guide the positioning.
Once the roof is in place, insert 4x cam locks (#1) into the large drill
holes on the side panels (A & B).
Again, as per step 11, turn each cam lock a quarter turn clockwise rst to
ensure the alignment is correct, then go back and fully tighten all four.
Note: If the roof is not quite aligned once attached to the bookcase, the
cam locks at the roof pitch can be loosened, adjusted and re-tightened to
correct the alignment.
STEP 12:
Keeping the unit on the oor for the moment,
position the 3x back panels (J, K & L) into the
recessed edges of the unit as shown.
Ensure the drill holes on the panels are aligned
with the pilot holes on the unit and that the
panels are in the correct positions.
Insert 18x back panel screws (#6) into the holes
shown - please note there are 2 holes highlighted
that need to be left for the anti-tip kit applied in
step 13.
