Base Cabinet Assembly:
- Open the box, un-package all the parts. Notice the extra corner protection and Straps. Also notice the amount of packaging material around the cabinet parts.
- Lay the face frame with the attached door on the assembly table.
- Apply the glue to the frame dado and insert the cabinet side into the face frame dado. Be sure that the side panel is completely in the face frame dado before securing with staples.
- Attach the cabinet sides to face frame using a staple gun and the assembly blocks. Several staples should be placed into each leg of the assembly block, directly into the end panel and directly into the face frame.
- Glue and insert the cabinet bottom into the dados. Staple at a 45 degree angle on the bottom into the cabinet sides to help secure the bottom to the sides.
- Unpack the drawer slides and brackets.
- Screw the drawer slide brackets into the cabinet back, look for the pilot holes.
- Lay cabinet on side and insert the cabinet back into the cabinet grooves and secure it with a bar clamp.
- Screw the pocket screws into the cabinet back.
- Staple the other cabinet side to bottom and staple assembly bracket.
- Using a jig, draw an alignment line on the cabinet back.
- Screw the cabinet back into the cabinet bottom and attach the toe kick with the assembly brackets.
- Move the cabinet from the table and place it on the floor. Then attach the drawer glides to the cabinet frame and rear brackets. Note the pilot holes for the screws.
- Assemble the dovetail drawer box sides with a hammer. (The drawer head is already attached to the front section of the drawer box). The bottom needs to be inserted before the last drawer side is tapped into place.
- Staple the drawer bottom to prevent any rattling and attach the drawer slide clips to the front underside of the drawer box.
- Next, attach the corner brackets to the cabinet and install the shelf clips and the shelf.
- Finally, insert the drawer box into the cabinet box and you’re finished.
