IMPORTANT: READ THIS INFORMATION BEFORE PROCEEDING WITH THE ASSEMBLY!
CHECK EACH STEP AS YOU COMPLETE IT
TO MAKE IT EASIER TO UNDERSTAND THE ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
The furniture and wardrobe combination consists of a number of
die-cut pieces of grayboard which, when assembled, are designed
to last a long time. The assembly is simple when you follow the
step-by-step assembly instructions. It can also be a lot of fun.
The furniture and wardrobe parts are held together by
small nicks. They will separate easily but do so carefully.
Remove all waste from slots and notches with handle of
spoon (not included). Place all parts in alphabetical order.
The assembly of the furniture and wardrobe
is based principally on inserting a tab into a
slot or inserting a notch into another notch.
