Assembly Instructions
Model 1481
The Mini Empire Island
READ ME FIRST!!!
Assembly will be much easier if you have two
people and a power screwdriver.
You have purchased a fine piece of domestic
hardwood furniture with finely matched
non-warping plywood veneer panels and shelves.
Because this is a quality product, we have
engineered all parts for a near-perfect fit. All parts
are secured with positive fastening hardware.
At first glance you may feel that assembly is
very difficult. In fact, assembly is very easy if you
follow the instructions step by step in order.
Having a partner will cut assembly time
considerably.
Here are a few general rules to keep in mind:
1) Because we sell to a large cross-section of the
populace, we encounter people with various
assembly skills and abilities. For this reason,
should you encounter any assembly difficulty,
please give us a call at (607) 652-7321 Mon.-Fri.
8am - 4:30 pm EST and someone will help you.
2) Our basic assembly hardware is called bastion
hardware which consists of a post that is screwed
into the wooden parts; a barrel nut that has a hole
thru the sides and an open threaded end that
accepts a set screw. Pins hold panels in place and
keep braces from turning. Machine Screws join
the front/back panel assemblies to the sides.
Heads on set screws sometimes vary.
3) TOOLS NEEDED: Medium-sized flat blade
screwdriver, a medium-sized and a small Phillips
screwdriver, a hammer, and a small amount of
vegetable oil or liquid soap to ease screwing
screws wherever hardwood is involved. A tape
measure will help you identify the parts. We
include an allen wrench when set screws have
hex heads.
4) All Parts are described as if you were facing the
front side of assembled unit.
