STEP A 1. Attach the Rack Top to the top ends of the Side Panels using 1 1/4” #8 wood screws. MAKE SURE YOU HAVE THE RACK TOP! The only difference between the Rack Top and the Cabinet Top is that the Cabinet Top has 4 small pilot holes on the bottom side plus the 4 throughholes; whereas, the Rack Top only has the 4 through holes. NOTE: On the Rack Top the countersunk (reamed out) through holes face up and the countersunk holes/pilot holes on the Cabinet Top face down.
STEP 1 4 Used in this step Attach a table top stick to the top of each side panel using 1 1/4” #8screws. The countersunk holes (reamed out) in the stick are positioned as in illustration 1.

Decide at this point if you want the handle/towel bar on the right or the left side of the cabinet as side panels are interchangeable.
STEP 4 A. Turn the side/back assembly ( from step 2 ) upside down ( invert ) on top of the inverted table top. B. Drop two 1 1/4” # 8 screws into the holes in each of the table top sticks. C. Using the (X) marks from step 3 as a guide, insert the tips of the screws into the pilot holes in the unit top and finger tighten. When all 4 screws are properly aligned, tighten down. D. Tap two 1” pins into each side panel. These pins will hold the bottom shelf.

Insert drawer bottom into the slots in the drawer sides, best side to inside of drawer. Slide down until seated in the slot in the drawer back. See illustration5B. C. Screw the cam posts into the two outside holes on the inside face of the drawer front until seated. Only 3/8” of this post goes into the wood, leaving the 4 guide rings/head exposed. See illustration 5C. D.
STEP 6 Take drawer, insert the drawer dowel thru the hole in the drawer back, invert drawer and place in cabinet cavity. Insert/turn drawer dowel into the 1/2” dia. hole in the back panel.

STEP 8 A.

STEP 11 A. Install doors by inserting pins in the door tops into the holes in the long edge top front brace. B. Place one washer on each of the door pins in the door bottoms. C.
