• Lay the side panels on the ground, and place one divider panel into slots on the side facing upward.
• Attach the three remaining divider panels in the same way.
• Stand the unit and attach the top panels by aligning the hooks of the side panels to the eyelets on the top panel.
• Secure this in place with the tabs and velcro fastenings.
• Attach the base in the same way
• If the organizer is not going to be wall-mounted, add the provided plastic stabilizers to the legs of the structure for added support.

Instructions for Wall Mounting

The Better Homes and Gardens 8 Cube Organizer also comes with instructions and all the necessary accessories for wall mounting, as long as you remember to get the appropriate wall anchors from your local hardware store.

1. Decide where best to install the organizer and mark the positions for the wall anchors with a pencil.
2. Drill the holes and insert the anchors.
3. Using the provided screws and a Phillips head screwdriver, attach one bracket to each of the side panels.
