Assembling your Ashley 9870757 Kellway Console with Storage requires careful attention to detail. Here's a step-by-step guide to ensure a smooth and safe process:
- Tool Up: Always use the tools specified in the assembly instructions provided with your console. Using the right tools is crucial for a secure and stable build.
- Follow the Steps: Work through the assembly steps in the exact order presented in the manual. Skipping steps can lead to instability or incorrect assembly.
- Inspect Everything: Before you start, thoroughly check all packing materials for any small parts that may have come loose during shipping. If you find anything missing, contact the retailer where you made your purchase to request replacements.
- No Substitutes: Avoid using any substitute parts. Using incorrect components can compromise the console's structural integrity.
- Tighten Regularly: Periodically check and tighten all connectors, including bolts and screws, to prevent any issues or accidents.
- Handle with Care (Glass & Mirrors): If your console includes glass or mirrors, handle these with extreme caution to prevent breakage and injury. For larger pieces, it's best to have assistance.
- Electric Cord Safety: If your console has any electrical components, make sure the cord is unplugged before you begin assembly. Avoid twisting or damaging the cord during the process.
- Use a Ladder: When assembling shelves, especially upper ones, always use a step ladder to ensure your safety. Do not stand on the lower shelves.
- Table Tops are Not for Standing: Remember that tables like end tables, coffee tables, and dinner tables are not designed to support a person's weight. Avoid standing on them during assembly.
- Get Help If Needed: If the assembly instructions recommend two or more people for the job, follow this advice. Assembling the console alone when it requires multiple people could lead to accidents.
