- 2. Flatpacks have been available for many years - but they just keep getting better. The choice now is almost endless. Whether you need a fully-fitted kitchen or just an extra set of shelves, you’ll find a flatpack to suit you. But when you’re assembling yours, it’s important that you follow the individual manufacturer’s instructions carefully. This compact cabinet is a typical building block in a flexible, modular storage system. You can add drawers, a shelf and/or a door to make it into a cupboard. And you can buy a number of them to make a unit that gives you all the storage you want. But make sure you always read the manufacturer’s assembly instructions, as individual products can differ. Step 1 Start by laying the panels out on the floor so you can easily see each part. A good tip is to use the packaging to protect the panels from scratches. And it’s best to keep screws and fixings inside their packaging until you need to use them. Step 2 Push the legs into the pre-drilled holes underneath the base panel. If you’re using decorative legs that you’ve bought sepa- rately, use the fixing instructions that come with them. Step 3 Turn the base panel over so it’s standing on the legs. Using a screwdriver, screw four cam studs into the pre-drilled holes closest to each corner. Step 4 Squeeze a little of the PVA wood adhesive that comes with the cabinet on one end of the four wooden dowels. Then slot them into the pre-drilled holes on either side of the base panel. Step 5 Tap the dowels into place with a small hammer (they should fit snugly). Take care not to damage the end of the dowels - a light tap should do the trick. Step 6 Put a locking cam into each of the larger holes at the bottom of the side panels. When you do this, make sure the arrows embossed on the cams point towards the end of the panel. After this, use a trimming knife to take off any extra edging at both ends of the grooves running along the length of the side panels. This is where you’ll be fitting the back panel. Step 7 Put a dab of PVA wood adhesive on the end of each dowel that’s sticking out. Step 8 Fit the first side panel to the base - it should slide neatly onto the dowels you’ve already glued. Take care to keep the panel at right angles to the base, otherwise you might risk damaging the dowels. Then make sure the grooves in the base and side panels line up. Step 9 Secure the first side panel by tightening the two locking cams. Use a screwdriver to turn them clockwise. Step 10 You’re now ready to fit the back panel. Run a bead of glue along the grooves in the side and base panel you’ve already put together, and slide the back panel into place. Step 11 Slide the second side panel into position and tighten the two locking cams. Step 12 Put four locking cams into the holes on the top of the side panels - the arrows should point towards the end of the panel. Glue four wooden dowels and fit them into the top panel. Then put four cam studs into the pre-drilled holes and run a bead of glue into the groove. You can now fit the top panel. Finish by tightening the locking cams and fitting cam covers to all the exposed locking cams. INSTRUCTIONS
