Before you build your Sew Station & Spool Holder, you’ll need to separate the drawer rails into
two pieces to be installed individually. The rails are comprised of three pieces. The outer and
intermediate pieces don’t separate. The inner piece can be completely removed.
Remove the inner track by pressing the black lever
inside the track up or down to unlock it. Slide the
track free from the intermediate and outer tracks.
Ok, all set!

Build on a blanket or rug to protect your wood panels.
Use a Phillips head screwdriver to insert (12) connecting bolts
into the corresponding holes in Side 1, Side 2 and Back as shown.
Turn clockwise to tighten.
Now, pause to do some planning.
Decide how you want to configure your Sew Station. There are some steps that need to be done
differently depending on which configuration you choose.
If you’re planning to use your Sew Station on the left side of your DreamBox, use Left Side Configu-
ration (the side table will extend to the right). If you’d like to use your Sew Station on the right side of
your DreamBox, use Right Side Configuration (the table will extend to the left.
If you wish to use your sewing machine knee lift, spool holder needs to be installed on Side 1.
As always, if you have questions, please reach out to our furniture experts. They are happy to assist
you.
