Take on
3 Centre the short shelf against
the base divider and secure,
then position in the box,
securing through the base
and sides. Secure both dividers
to the middle shelf from
underneath, then position
the middle shelf in the box,
securing into the base divider
and through the sides.
2 Butt the side pieces against
the back. Mark a line 6mm in
from the rear edges to secure
with screws 20mm, 143mm,
255mm and 411mm down
from the top. Mark 33mm
up from the base to secure
the base shelf through the
sides. Tip: Use the position of
the screws as a shelf guide.
6 On the inside of the front,
at the base, mark 60mm
in from the side edges to
pre-drill and secure hinges
with 12mm screws. Position
the front against the box,
with the hinges underneath
the base shelf and secure.
7 Use pliers to cut two 580mm
lengths of chain and open four
eye hooks with a 2mm gap.
Under the lid and inside the
box, 150mm from the front
and 30mm from the edges,
pre-drill with a 2mm bit, twist
in the hooks, loop on the
chain and press closed.
