Assembling the Mobile Entertainment Unit

1. With the box on the table, carefully slide the frame over the box with the smaller frame headed for the tabs (figure A).

2. Center the box in the frame being careful not to scratch the oil finish on the wood.

3. Once the frame is in place, pilot a hole through the box and into the frame.

4. Screw in the fastener. Repeat the process on the bottom being careful not to strip the head of the screw. Flip the assembly over and go to work on the tabs. Pilot holes through the tabs and drive in the stainless steel truss head screws (figure B).

5. The last step is to attach the ball caster. Drill the recesses to receive them. Pilot the holes and attach the ball casters with small screws (figure C).
