Flat Pack Cabinet Assembly Instructions

Kora Kitchens flat-pack cabinets are designed for straightforward assembly. Before starting, unpack the cabinet carefully, lay the panels out on a clean protected surface, check the hardware, and identify each part before joining the cabinet together. 

Take care with painted doors, drawer fronts and finished panels. Keep them wrapped or protected until they are ready to be fitted.

​

A typical cabinet pack contains:

• 2 side panels

• 1 bottom panel

• 1 back panel
