How to Assemble a Bohemian-Inspired Sideboard with Sliding Doors

Step 1: Unboxing & Organizing

Instruction: Carefully remove all parts from the packaging. You should have the main sideboard frame (top, bottom, and side panels), an internal shelf or shelves, one or two center drawers (depending on the model), two sliding doors with decorative elephant motifs, and a hardware kit (screws, bolts, door track pieces). Lay them out on a clean surface, verifying each item against your assembly manual.

Step 2: Building the Main Frame

Instruction: Identify the two side panels and attach them to the bottom panel using the provided bolts or screws. Keep the hardware slightly loose to allow for minor adjustments. Next, position the top panel on the frame and secure it in place. Once the frame is square, tighten all screws and bolts evenly.

Step 3: Installing the Center Shelf & Drawer

Instruction: Slide or place the internal shelf at the desired height, using the pre-drilled holes or brackets on the side panels. Secure it with screws to keep it level. If your sideboard includes a drawer, assemble it by connecting the sides, bottom, and front panel. Insert the drawer onto the designated rails in the center space, ensuring it glides smoothly.

Step 4: Attaching the Sliding Doors

Instruction: Next, assemble the sliding door track along the top front edge of the sideboard. Align the track pieces with the pre-drilled holes, then secure them with the bolts provided. Hang each door by fitting its metal rollers onto the track. Test the doors by sliding them back and forth; if they catch or stick, adjust the rollers or track tension.

Step 5: Final Checks & Personalization

Instruction: Gently shake the entire unit to confirm stability. Tighten any remaining bolts or screws, and wipe down all wooden surfaces with a soft cloth to remove dust or fingerprints. Finally, style your new sideboard—use the shelves for baskets or décor, tuck items into the drawer, and let the sliding doors showcase the intricate elephant patterns.
