Start with Piece A

• Lay Piece A flat on a hard surface (like a wood floor with a sheet on top). Avoid cushiony surfaces that absorb impact when using a mallet.
• Piece A is labeled with numbers 1 through 9.
• Find the part labeled 1 and align its arrow with the arrow of label "1" on Piece A.
• Insert Part 1 into the slot, push it down slightly, and use a mallet to tap it in until flush.
• Repeat for each part in this order:
  • 2/3
  • 4/5
  • 6/7
  • 8/9
  For each, insert both pegs into their slots and tap gently with the mallet.

Insert Shelf Boards

• Now insert the four internal shelf boards—the pieces your books will rest on.
• There are 4 total boards: 3 identical pieces and 1 larger one.
• Each board has a groove that matches the installed vertical dividers. Simply align and slide each board into the grooves until fully seated.

• Place Piece B on top of the vertical parts you’ve installed.
• Start from one side, and carefully align the holes of Piece B with the notches of each part (starting with part 8/9).
• Hold Piece B down by hand as you move across the structure, gently aligning each connection point.
• Once aligned across all parts, give a gentle mallet tap on one side to start seating it into place. No need for heavy force yet.
• At this point, the shelf is still on its side.

Flip Upright & Final Tapping

• Now rotate the bookshelf to its proper standing position—legs down, like it will sit when fully built.
• Now that it’s upright, use a mallet to go over the structure and ensure all parts are securely seated.
• Tap:
  • Left side of 2/3
  • Right side of 2/3
  • Then move to 4/5, left and right
  • Repeat this for 6/7 and 8/9
• The structure should feel tight, flush, and level when complete.

• Grab the lid and align the hinges.
• The hinge has an L-shaped bracket that fits into the corresponding hinge on the back panel (just like the other bookshelf model).
• Once aligned, push inward until you hear a click—that means it's locked in place.
