Assemble a Wardrobe Tower with Soft-Close Drawers and Handles

Install plastic and wooden dowels

Push the plastic and wooden dowels into the designated holes at the top of your side panels.

Wooden dowels should be in the first hole that is closest to the top edge of the panel.

Mark out fixed shelf and runner positions

Lay the soft-close drawer runners in position on the side panels to work out your spacing. Do not screw the runners in yet.

For soft-close drawers with handles, use the following layout:

1. Install the bottom fixed shelf studs in the bottom holes.
2. Leave 1 hole empty above the bottom fixed shelf studs.
3. Position the first runner above this.
4. Leave 5 visible holes between each runner.
5. Position the next runner over the 6th and 7th holes.
6. Above the top runner, install the top fixed shelf studs in the 5th hole up.

Use a pencil and set square to mark the second fixing hole for each runner.

Important: Do not install the runners at this stage. The fixed shelf studs and fixed shelves must be fully installed before the runners are screwed in, otherwise the fixed shelves cannot be fitted into place.

Drill pilot holes for the runners

Once the runner positions are marked, drill a 5mm pilot hole at each marked second fixing point.

Drill each pilot hole 12mm deep. Take care not to drill all the way through the side panel.

Tip: Use tape on your drill bit as a depth guide so you do not drill deeper than 12mm.

Install fixed shelves and back support panel

Slide the fixed shelves onto the studs and use a screwdriver to tighten the cams.

Position the back support panel onto the dowels at the top of the tower and use a screwdriver to tighten the cam.

Note: Ensure that the cam on your back support panel is facing towards the back of the tower so it will not be seen once the tower is installed against the wall.

Install second side panel

Position the second drilled side panel onto the fixed shelves and back support panel.

Once aligned, tighten the cams to secure the second side panel in place.

Note: Make sure the second side panel has matching fixed shelf studs and pilot holes before fitting it to the tower.

Install soft-close drawer runners

Once the fixed shelves are fully installed, position the soft-close drawer runners back onto the side panels.

Secure each runner using 2x Euro screws, using the pilot holes drilled earlier for the second fixing points.

Important: The runners must be installed after the fixed shelves are in place. If the runners are installed too early, the fixed shelves will not be able to slide into position.

Stand tower up and fix to the wall

Carefully flip the tower onto its back, then lift it into a standing position.

Once in place, use screws, not supplied, to secure the tower to the wall.

Note: Wall fixing screws are not supplied as requirements vary between install sites. In most cases, 65mm screws are suitable for fixing a tower to a wall stud.

Insert prepared soft-close drawers

Slide your prepared soft-close drawers into position on the runners, making sure each drawer is aligned with the runners on both sides.

Make sure your drawers are assembled before this step. You can follow our soft-close drawer assembly guide here.
