assembly step 1: "tab A in slot B"
some cam holes too shallow (15mm Forstner bit ordered):
IMO, inserting cams in holes before pin insertions
unnecessarily risks cam alignment issues;
cam insertions after pin insertions work fine
except when cam holes are too shallow...assembly step 6: headboard helper
18" box supported one end of headboard
while engaging cams at the other end.
wish labels had been glued to panels' hidden sides...
3 Oct step 16: heavy lifting- Upper cabinet with back weighs around 180lbs;
no way do I lift that 34" onto lower cabinet by myself...
Once stacked, units become IMO effectively immobile. Consequently:- First lower cabinet should be at its final location before stacking.
- Bed cabinets should be assembled and located before second side unit.
assembly step 18: upper bed cabinet
Panel 5 also has shallow cam holes; effectively halting assembly
pending 6 Oct Forstner bit delivery
Thursday, 1 Oct- Trundle bed delivered and assembled:
