Parts and Tools Two side panels, a top, a bottom, a fixed shelf, a plinth rail, four shelves and a folded back panel, with the fittings laid out on a rug\. You need a flat screwdriver, a cross\-head screwdriver and a hammer\. Tap a part to see its name\. Assemble it with a second person, on a rug or the empty carton so the panels do not chip\. ### 2. 1 · First Wood Dowel Push a wood dowel into one of the two holes in an end of the plinth rail, until half of it is in\. ### 3. 1 · Other Fifteen Push in the other fifteen the same way: two in each end of the rail, the bottom, the fixed shelf and the top\. ### 4. 2 · First Cam Bolt Lay both side panels flat, inner face up\. Screw a cam bolt into a hole in the inner face, clockwise with the cross\-head screwdriver, until its collar meets the panel\. ### 5. 2 · Other Eleven Screw in the other eleven the same way: three pairs on each side panel, at the bottom, the middle and the top\. ### 6. 3 · Rail, Bottom and Fixed Shelf Stand the rail, the bottom and the fixed shelf on their ends on side panel \#1 and push them down onto its dowels and cam bolts\. The rail goes at the front of the bottom end\. ### 7. 4 · First Cam Lock Push a cam lock into a round hole in the bottom, next to the side panel\. Turn it clockwise with the flat screwdriver until it grips the cam bolt\. ### 8. 4 · Other Three Fit and turn the other three the same way: one more in the bottom and two in the fixed shelf\. ### 9. 5 · The Top Push the top onto the far end of the side panel\. Its round cam holes face out, away from the fixed shelf; the crossed\-out copy shows it the wrong way round\. ### 10. 5 · Two Cam Locks Fit two cam locks in the top and turn them clockwise with the flat screwdriver\. ### 11. 6 · Side Panel \#2 Turn side panel \#2 over, inner face down, and lower it onto the dowels and cam bolts of the rail and the three boards\. Two people: one at each end of the panel\. ### 12. 7 · Six Cam Locks Fit six cam locks along side panel \#2, two in each board, and turn each clockwise with the flat screwdriver until it locks\. ### 13. 8 · Onto Its Front Together, turn the bookcase forward onto its front so the open back faces up\. ### 14. 8 · Unfold the Back Panel Lift the folded back panel, turn it over and open it out along its fold, brown side up\. ### 15. 8 · Slide In the Back Panel Slide the back panel in from the bottom end along the grooves in both side panels, until it reaches the top\. ### 16. 9 · First Snap Sleeve Push a snap sleeve through a hole in the back panel into the board behind it, until its flange sits on the panel\. ### 17. 9 · First Snap Pin Push a snap pin into the sleeve until its head is flush\. It spreads the sleeve and holds the back panel fast\. ### 18. 9 · Other Seventeen Sleeves Push a sleeve into each of the other seventeen holes: six across the bottom, six across the fixed shelf and six across the top\. ### 19. 9 · Other Seventeen Pins Push a pin into each of the other seventeen sleeves\.

A bookcase can tip over\. Always fix it to the wall\. ### 23. 11 · Two Anchor Brackets Set the two angle brackets on the top, against the wall, with their short legs up\. ### 24. 11 · First Bracket Screw Put a washer on a short screw and drive it through the long slot of a bracket into the top, clockwise with the cross\-head screwdriver\. ### 25. 11 · Second Bracket Screw Fix the other bracket to the top the same way\. ### 26. 11 · Into the Wall Fix each bracket to the wall with a screw and a washer through its short leg\.
