I bought this for my daughter in law and i had gone thru may reviews and culled what looked like the best instructions. The final product is awesome. Great for the price, very happy. These really did help and i am hoping if someone searches instructions this will come u:
A total pain to put together. Make sure to put the taller piece in the back and use the shorter piece as the door. The glass isn’t labeled and that is not in the instructions. He had to take it all the way apart and start over. Hope this saves someone a headache.
1. Attach the 4 metal poles to the bottom of the unit.
2. Attach the plastic feet to the bottom of the unit.
3. Stand the bottom so that the poles are pointing in the air.
4. Attach the top of the unit LOOSELY to the poles (a few turns of the bolt is enough).
5. Attach the suction cups to the poles. This is MUCH easier to do at this stage than when the glass has been attached and also ensure that the poles are turned correctly (the ends of the suction cups should point toward the middle of the case).
6. Attach the long plastic pieces to the back glass piece (a. be sure you have the back - which is longer - and not the door; b. be sure the strips are attached correctly as shown in the diagram - one recess is deeper than the other on the plastic strip).
7. Lift the top of the unit slightly and slip the back piece of glass into the slot on the bottom piece.
8. Let the top of the unit sit on top of the back piece of glass (in the groove).
9. Attach left side, dropping it into the bottom slot and sliding the glass into the plastic connector.
10. Attach right side in the same way.
11. Let the top piece sit on the 3 panes of glass, ensuring that they are seated in the slots.
12. Tighten the bolts on the top piece, making sure that the suction cups on the poles are pointing to the center.
13. Attach the plastic pieces that hold the door to the recesses in the top and bottom of the cabinet.
14. Attach the magnetic pieces to the top and bottom of the cabinet.
15. Attach the metal bracket to the top of the door.
16. Partially insert the screws into the bottom bracket and then insert the bracket into the hole at the bottom of the case.
17. Insert the top bracket (already attached to the door) into the hole on the top of the case, then slide the bottom of the glass door into the metal bracket at the bottom.
18. Tighten the screws on the bottom metal bracket; door is now attached.
19. Put the remaining brackets (i.e., the parts that make contact with the magnets) on the door.
20. Clean the glass (much harder to do after you put the shelves in).
21. Insert each shelf.
That looks long, I know, but its actually MUCH simpler than the way the instructions tell you to do it. My son put it all together by himself.
other tip:
The door can be installed to open in either direction, but just be careful to invert all door pieces properly if you decide to do the opposite direction of the instructions because once you use the adhesives etc you cant move them again. I did it the opposite way and it worked out great.
