Tower Assembly

Step 1

Lay the drilled side panel on the floor.

Fit the wooden and pushfit dowels.

Decide where you want the fixed shelves and screw in the fixed shelf studs. Please note, if you have a tower with drawers, the extra fixed shelf goes above the bottom drawer.

Step 3

Decide where you want the drawers and fix the drawer runners with the euro screws.

Note: you will need to leave 7 visible holes between each runner, or if you are using drawers with handles you will need to leave 6 visible holes.

Step 4

Fit the back support panel – please note, the bottom back support panel is optional.

Step 5

Fit the fixed shelves.

Step 6

Repeat steps 1–3 on opposite side and fit together.

Installation

Move the tower into position.

Note: you may need to remove the skirting board or notch the sides.

You can use additional fixing e.g. L brackets where you find solid fixing (studs or noggings).

Step 10

Fit end panels.

Step 11

Fit the hanging rail wall supports.

Note: top panel will need to be cut to size.
