How Do You Assemble the RTA Pantry Cabinet?

One of the most rewarding aspects of our kitchen cabinet collection is the straightforward assembly process. We empower you to build your own high-quality furniture, creating a sense of accomplishment and connection with your home. Our clear instructions ensure a smooth and successful build.

What Do You Need Before You Begin?

• ✓Unpack all components in a clear, open area to prevent scratches.
• ✓Check all parts against the included inventory list to ensure everything is present.
• ✓Gather basic tools: a Phillips screwdriver, a rubber mallet, and a level.

What Are the Step-by-Step Assembly Instructions?

1. Construct the Cabinet Box: Begin by connecting the side panels to the bottom and top panels. Use the provided cam locks and screws to secure them, creating a sturdy frame. Ensure all corners are square.
2. Attach the Back Panel: Slide the thin back panel into the grooves on the side, top, and bottom panels. This adds significant structural integrity to the tall cabinet.
3. Install the Shelves: Insert the shelf pins at your desired heights inside the cabinet. Place the adjustable shelves securely on the pins. This allows you to customize your storage for items of all sizes, from tall cereal boxes to small spice jars.
4. Assemble and Hang the Doors: Attach the hinges to the melamine flat panel doors first, then mount the doors to the cabinet frame. Adjust the hinges as needed to ensure the doors align perfectly and close smoothly.
5. Install the Handles: Measure and drill holes for your chosen handles or knobs, completing the modern look of your freestanding pantry.

What Is the Best Way to Clean and Maintain Melamine Cabinets?

 

For routine care, use a soft, damp microfiber cloth with a 50/50 solution of water and mild soap, and always dry the surface immediately. Avoid abrasive scrubbers and harsh chemicals like ammonia. For minor scratches, a color-matched melamine touch-up pen is highly effective.

Your new pantry organizer is designed for longevity and ease of care. Following a simple maintenance routine will keep your melamine cabinets looking brand new for years, preserving the elegance they bring to your home.

How Should You Perform Routine Cleaning?

• ✓Surface Wipes: For daily cleaning, use a soft, damp microfiber cloth with a solution of mild soap and water. This is gentle on the finish while effectively removing fingerprints and food splatters.
• ✓Drying: Always dry the surfaces immediately with a separate soft cloth to prevent water spots and protect the integrity of the material.
• ✓Gentle Products: Choose non-abrasive, ammonia-free cleaners. Harsh chemicals can damage the melamine finish over time.

How Can You Handle Minor Repairs?

• ✓Scratches: For minor surface scratches, a melamine touch-up pen, available at most hardware stores in a matching color, can work wonders.
• ✓Hinge Adjustments: Over time, doors may become slightly misaligned. A simple turn of the adjustment screws on the hinges will realign them perfectly in under 5 minutes.

This proactive approach ensures your investment remains a source of pride and joy in your home.
