ASSEMBLE THE DRAWERS
Your RYAN Tallboy has six drawers - two small top drawers and four large bottom drawers. NOTE: The two

Front) and a right hand (red mark on the back of the Drawer Front) drawer. When installing these in the
cabinet after assembling them, (See step 4) take care to get them around the correct way. (If the drawer
fronts overlap when they are installed please remove them and swap the whole drawer over.)
All drawers are made up of the same parts and therefore are constructed in the same way.
