BACK ASSEMBLY
1. Lay the two back panels on a flat surface.
(See Figure 1)
2. Place the right back panel (4) over the left back
panel (3), inserting the locking tabs into the
matching square holes. (See Figure 1)
NOTE: Locking tabs can be adjusted
open or closed with a screwdriver to
ease assembly.
3. Once all the locking tabs are placed into square
holes, slide the back panels in opposite directions to
fully engage the tabs. (See Figure 2)
4. Tap the locking tabs down with a rubber mallet to
tighten the connections.
SIDE ASSEMBLY
1. With the back panels laying on a flat surface, lift the
outside edge of the right back panel (4) and slide
the L-shaped bend of the right side panel (2) under it.
(See Figure 3)
2. Insert locking tabs on the right side panel (2) into the
matching square holes in the right back panel (4).
(See Figure 3)
3. Once all locking tabs are placed into square
holes, slide the side and back panels in opposite
directions to fully engage the locking tabs.
4. Tap each of the locking tabs down with a rubber
mallet to tighten the connections.
5. Repeat steps one through four with the left side
panel (1).
BOTTOM ASSEMBLY
1. Position the kick plate (9) as illustrated and begin
installation by lifting its right end upwards inside the
channel on the right side panel (2). (See Figure 4)
2. Push the kick plate upwards until the crescent tab on
the side panel engages the square hole on the kick
plate. (See Figure 4)
NOTE: Ensure a tight fit. A loose connection
would result in an unstable unit.

3. Using a flat head screwdriver, bend the tab on the
bottom of the side panel 45° inward to lock the kick
plate in place. (See Figure 5)
4. Repeat steps one through three for the left side of
the kick plate.
5. Install the bottom shelf (8) by placing it in the
bookcase with the notched corners toward the back
panels. (See Figure 6)
6. Angle the bottom shelf and engage the supports
located on the two back panels. (See Figure 6)
NOTE: As with the locking tabs, some adjustment
to the supports on the side and back panels
using the screwdriver may be necessary.
7. Gradually tilt the front
edge of the bottom
shelf forward, making
sure that it engages
the supports located
on the right and left
side panels and goes
over the bend on the
front of the kick plate.
8. Carefully stand the
unit upright and tap
the bottom shelf down.
Make sure bottom shelf
is securely positioned
on the supports on the
back and side panels.
(See FIgure 7)
TOP ASSEMBLY
1. Begin inserting the posts on the top (5) into the
channels on the right and left side panels.
(See Figure 8)
NOTE: Starting with the top on a slight angle
might help.
2. Once both posts are started, tap evenly down on
the top (5) with a rubber mallet until it is just past the
side and back panels. (See Figure 9)
NOTE: Make sure the top is going over the side
and back panels.
3. Check under the top to make certain that the side
and back panels are inside the supports.

CENTER SHELF INSTALLATION
1. At the desired shelf height, insert 2 shelf clips (7) into
the holes located inside the front edges of the side
panels. (See Figure 12)
2. Angle a shelf (6) into the cabinet above the installed
clips with its rear tilted down. (See Figure 13)
3. Insert the rear of the shelf into the slots in the back
panels that are closest in height to the installed clips.
(See Figure 13)
4. Tilt the shelf down until it rests on the shelf clips. If
the shelf is uneven, reposition the shelf clips into
appropriate locations to level it. (See Figure 13)
5. Repeat this process for all of the center shelves.
NOTE: After assembly is complete, mild soap
and water can be used to clean the unit by
wiping with a soft cloth.
