contains the cabinet body parts.
3) Make sure to have a clean clear area to work with so the cabinet does not get damaged.

5) Slide Right Side panel in left pre-cut slot on face frame making sure that the pre-cut slots on the panel are facing
towards inside of the cabinet (Diagram B). (Note: placing a thin bead of wood glue in the grooves before sliding panels
in will help with the sturdiness and assembly of cabinets. If the panels are a little too tight to slide freely, use a rubber
mallet to gently tap into place.)

8) Place back panel in the grooves provided in the side panels and the bottom in the groove in the back (Diagram D).
9) Use ¾” screws to fasten side panels to the back (Diagram E). There are 3 screws for each side. We suggest you put
these in using a screwdriver vs. a screw gun unless you have one with a low torque setting. MAKE SURE SCREW HEADS
ARE PAST THE SURFACE OF THE SIDE PANEL. TIP: If you should strip the screw just back it out and put in a wood chip or
a couple of tooth picks and put the screw back in. BE CAREFUL!
10) Place 2 –¾” Screws into the holes provided in the back panel.Screw back into bottom of cabinet (Diagram F).
11) Stand cabinet up and lie on its back (Diagram G).
12) Use clear “L”brackets to mount toekick. Screw brackets into side panels first. 4 brackets are supplied but only 2 are
necessary. If you are using other material to cover the toe kick this step may not be necessary. Make sure toekick
extends past side panel ¼” on each side (Diagram H).
13) Stand cabinet up.
14) Locate the predrilled holes near the top of the base cabinet back panel and place the grey plastic drawer glide brackets
in the 2 pre-drilled holes and secure in place with the screws in the drawer slide hardware bag. (Repeat process based
on Base Cabinet type).
15) Take your Drawer slides and place the left slide on the Right side of the base with the back of the slide resting in the
bracket on the back panel (Diagram I).
16) Push the slide all the way to the Right of the face frame opening and line up with the predrilled holes in the bracket and
screw it in.
17) Repeat Step 15 for the Left side drawer slide and all remaining drawer slides based on Cabinet type.

Building the Drawer Box
18) Take the Drawer front with the Dovetail drawer box front attached and push the left side of the drawer box into the
Dovetail joint making sure all grooves for the bottom are pointing to the inside of drawer. (Use a hard rubber mallet
and piece of wood to gently tap the pieces into place). (Diagram J).
19) Repeat Step 17 with right side.
20) Place drawer bottom into pre-cut grooves and slide into place making sure the bottom goes all the way into the groove
on the drawer box front (see drawing). TIP: a couple of small drops of glue could be used to make sure drawer box
bottom is not loose but it is not required (Diagram K).
21) Place the back of the Dovetail Drawer box in place making sure the drawer bottom is all the way in the pre-cut groove.
(Diagram L)
22) Turn drawer upside down and place Orange plastic drawer clips in the front of the box. The 4 holes in the clips should
be against the inside bottom edge of drawer (Diagram M).
23) Screw these into place with screws supplied.
24) Repeat Steps 17 through 22 for all remaining drawers (based on Cabinet type).
25) Stand Cabinet up.
26) Pull the Drawer slides out of the cabinet body and place drawer box on the slides (Diagram N).
