Assembly Instructions

Tool Required: Phillips Screwdriver, Pencil
1. This piece of furniture includes a drawer interlock system allowing only one lower drawer to be
open at a time. This is a safety feature to reduce the risk of tip over. Do not defeat or remove the
drawer interlock system.
2. Place the chest at its final destination. Rotate the Small Adjustable Glides (Y) on the bottoms of
the legs until the unit is level. See Figure 2.
3. If you need to remove your drawers, pull up on the left Drawer Release Lever while pushing
down on the right Drawer Release Lever and pull out the drawer. See Figures 3 and 3a. Note
where each drawer came from to make sure you place them back into their correct positions.

4. When removing drawers from furniture featuring the Anti-Tip Drawer Interlock System it is

5. Example; if you want to remove the First Drawer and Second Drawer from the chest; remove
the Second Drawer first. When you remove this drawer the upper arm on the Anti-Tip Snapper
for that side will be pulled forward. See Fig. 5d. As long as this arm is angled toward the front of
the case, you cannot remove the First Drawer. Move the upper arms of the Anti-tip Snapper to
the unlocked position as shown in Figure 5e. You can then remove the First Drawer as shown
in Step 3. To reinstall the drawers, install the First Drawer then move the upper arm of the Anti-
tip Snapper to the forward locked position. Now you can reinstall the Second Drawer.

If you have a stone or tile floor or do not wish to drive screws into the corner of the baseboard
and floor see the instruction included inside the tipping restraint kit for an alternate
installation.
6. Decide where you want to place the piece of furniture in your room. Mark the baseboard with a
pencil mark directly behind the location where the tipping restraint is attached to your item.
Move the item away from the wall far enough to allow you to access the spot where the
baseboard meets the floor. Position the straps and Plastic Bracket (B) as shown in Figures 6
and 6a with the angled corners of the Plastic Bracket (B) firmly placed against the seam of the
baseboard and floor. Attach by driving #8 x 3" Pan Head Screws (D) through the holes in the
Plastic Bracket (B) into the seam below the baseboard where it meets the floor. See Figures 6
and 6a.

7. Move the item back into position against the wall and reach underneath the piece of furniture to
grasp the loop in the free end of the strap. Pull the free end of the strap until portion between
the Cam Buckle (A) and the back apron of the item is tight. See Figures 7 and 7a. If you need
to move the piece of furniture reach beneath and locate the buckle which connects the two
sections of the strap and depress the release lever, then pull on the section of strap that is
between the buckle and the back apron of the furniture until there is enough slack to allow you
to pull the item away from the wall.
