Tower Assembly

NOTE: The spacing and position of your fixed shelves and drawer runners will depend on your desired tower layout.

Step 1

Lay the drilled side panel on the floor.

Position your first runner at the bottom of the side panel, leaving 1 hole for the fixed shelf.

If you have a tower with drawers, the fixed shelf goes below the bottom drawer.

Decide where you want the drawers and fix the drawer runners with the euro screws. Use a square to line up the second or ‘back’ hole and pilot drill with 5mm drill bit.

Step 4

Install fixed shelf studs above top drawer and below bottom drawer.

Step 5

Fit the back support panel to the top of the tower and tighten cam to secure.

Step 6

Install the fixed shelves and tighten cams to secure.

Step 7

Place side panel on top of structure and tighten back support panel and fixed shelf cams.

Step 8

Flip the tower onto it’s back and then lift and walk to an upright position.

Step 9

Secure the tower to the wall using your required fixings then complete the rest of the installation by fitting the top panel, side panels and hanging rails.
