Step 1: Unboxing & Organizing

Instruction: Carefully remove all parts from the packaging. You should have the main body (the boxy, leather-like exterior), a separate marble top, two drawer units (with ridged gold handles), and a hardware kit (screws, bolts, and possibly adhesive pads). Lay everything out on a clean surface, verifying each item against your assembly manual.

Step 2: Securing the Marble Top

Instruction: If your marble top is separate, carefully place it on the top of the nightstand body. Align any pre-drilled holes or mounting brackets if the design requires screws. If there are no holes, use the recommended adhesive pads or silicone (as instructed by the manual) to keep the marble top in place. Gently press down to ensure a snug fit.

Step 3: Installing the Drawers

Instruction: Each drawer should already have its gold-tone handle attached, but if not, secure it from the inside with the provided screws. Slide the drawers onto the rails inside the nightstand body, ensuring they glide smoothly. If they stick, adjust the rails or tighten any loose screws.

Step 4: Checking the Base & Gold Accents

Instruction: Some designs include a separate gold-tone base that needs to be attached to the underside of the nightstand. If so, flip the nightstand carefully onto its side or back. Align the base’s corners with the pre-drilled holes, then secure it with bolts or screws. Once attached, return the nightstand to its upright position.

Step 5: Final Checks & Placement

Instruction: Gently shake the entire unit to confirm stability. Tighten any remaining bolts or screws, and wipe down the leather-like surfaces with a soft cloth to remove dust or fingerprints. Clean the marble top with a suitable cleaner for stone surfaces. Finally, place your new nightstand beside the bed or in your desired location—use the drawers for discreet storage and let the marble top showcase decorative items.
