Framed Bookcase Assembly Instructions
Step 1
Screw the moulding fastening blocks on the top and bottom
shelf. Install so that the front of the connector is flush with
the front edge of the shelf as shown in the inset photo.
Rounded corners face back. On the top shelf the brackets
are installed on the side with the groove on the back edge.
On the bottom shelf they are installed on the other side
without the groove.
Step 2
Screw the moulding fastening blocks along the front edge of
the bookcase sides. The number of brackets will vary
depending upon the height of your case. Near both the top
and bottom ends of the bookcase sides you will notice a
series of holes bored front to back. Insert wooden dowel
pins in the larger holes. Screw connector bolts into the
smaller holes. Do not overtighten the bolts. Once they are
flush stop.
Step 3
Lay the LEFT bookcase side on a flat surface and install
the top shelf. Line up the holes on the end of the shelf with
the cam bolts on the bookcase side and press downward.
Make certain the groove on the top shelf matches up with
the groove on the bookcase side.
Step 4
Insert the cam washers into the holes with
the cam bolts. The arrow on the washer
points towards the bookcase side at about
the 6 o’clock position. To tighten, turn
clockwise to abou the 2 o’clock position.
Repeat steps 3 and 4 for the bottom shelf.

Step 5
We are now going to install the back panels. Start with the
plank labeled on the back “1st Plank”. Line both ends of
the plank up with the grooves on the top and bottom shelf,
and slide down into the groove on the left bookcase side.
The tongue will be facing upward as shown. Install the
remaining planks in the same manner, ending with the
plank labeled “Last Plank”.
Your planks have been graded at the factory to be good on
the face of the plank. This is the side which has been fac-
tory sanded. The backs of the planks are not graded for
appearance and are not sanded.
Step 6
Install the right bookcase side by lining up the bolts with
the holes in the ends of the top and bottom shelf and press
into place. Make certian the back plank seats properly in
the groove. Install cam locks in the same manner as you did
in steps 3-4.
Step 7
Next you are going to attach the applied mouldings to your
case. This is the hardest part of the assembly process. It is
easiest to lay the bookcase flat on it’s back. Start with the
top arched moudling. Line it up so that it is flush with the
top of the case and side to side.
At this point you can secure it by placing screws from
underneath through the connector brackets on the book-
case side and top shelf and screwing into place. Or, it is
highly recomended that you predrill holes in the backs of
the moudlings. Using the brackets as a template, take a
screw and press into the back of the moulding to make an
indentation. Drill an 1/8” pilot hole about 3/8” deep. Be
careful not to drill all the way through the board. By pre-
drilling these holes, you will have a much easier time tight-
ening the screws. It is worth the extra time rather than
trying to muscle the screws tight.

Step 8
Next attach the 2 side mouldings in the same manner. Make
sure the mouldings fit tight up against the bottom of the top
moudling. Also try to get them flush with the sides of the
case as well.
Step 9
Install the bottom moulding last. Make sure that it is tight
up against the bottom of the side mouldings, and that it is
even side to side. Both the top and bottom are slightly wider
the the width of the case.
Step 10
Your shelves are adjustable on 32mm center to suit your
needs. Depending on the height of your case, it will come
with 1-6 adjustable shelves. Extra shelves and pins are
available online at www.thewoodlandmills.com

Important Note
Bookcases over 46” in height should be securely
fastened to the wall to prevent tipping over..
Since your new bookcase has a 100% solid wood
back, you may simply screw through the back of
the case and into a wall stud. A 3” long screw is
recomended. It may be helpful to drill a small
pilot hole first.
Optional
If you are certain that you will never need to take
your case apart, you may place 2 1 1/4” finish nails
in each of the 4 corners on the back of the case.
This will help prevent “racking” or side to side
movement of the case. You may also glue the first
and last plank in place.
