How to assemble a wardrobe insert unit
Overview
Learn how to assemble a shelf and drawer unit for a wardrobe. Just follow our step-by-step guide.
Steps
Attach the top shelf to the first side panel
First up, you should assemble the larger unit. Screw the top shelf onto the side panel, making sure the shelf support holes are facing inwards and that you have the white laminated edges facing the front.
Attach the other shelves and second side in place
Screw the rest of the shelves into place, and also attach the kick board using the pre-drilled holes at the base.
Attach the second side panel
Position the second side panel with the shelf support holes facing inwards and attach it to the shelves, using the screws provided.
Attach the back
Make sure the back panel sits flush at the top and is parallel at the sides. Check that the white side is facing into the unit. Tap the supplied nails in around the edges.
Insert the shelf supports
Insert the shelf supports into the holes where you want the shelves to sit.
Slide in the shelves
Once you have all your shelf supports in place, slide in all of your shelves.
Assemble the larger drawers
Fold out the drawers and slide the bottom panel into the slots in the draws. Make sure the white side is on the inside of the drawer. Swing the front panel around and insert the dowels into the predrilled holes. You can use glue in the edges and dowels for extra support.
Attach the drawer handle
Slide the handle into the slot at the front of the drawer. Then screw it in from the inside of the drawer, through the pre-drilled holes.
Attach the runners to the drawer
Place the drawer runners over the pre-drilled holes on the bottom of the drawer. Then use your hammer to tap them into position.
Attach the runners to the inside of the unit
Now install the drawer runners for the inside of the unit. Place them over the pre-drilled holes at the bottom and screw them in either side.
Slide in the drawer
Take your drawer, line up the drawer's runners with the unit, and slide in your drawer. Then assemble the rest of your drawers (See steps 7-9) and slide them into the unit.
Assemble the smaller unit
Now it's time to put the smaller unit together, which is exactly the same process for the larger unit (See steps 1-6).
Assemble and insert the drawers into the smaller unit
Finally, assemble the smaller drawers (See steps 7-9) and insert them into the smaller unit.

Asbestos, lead-based paints and copper chromium arsenic (CCA) treated timber are health hazards you need to look out for when renovating older homes. These substances can easily be disturbed when renovating and exposure to them can cause a range of life-threatening diseases and conditions including cancer. For information on the dangers of asbestos, lead-based paint and CCA treated timber and tips for dealing with these materials contact your local council's Environmental Health Officer or visit our Health & Safety page.
When following our advice in our D.I.Y. videos, make sure you use all equipment, including PPE, safely by following the manufacturer’s instructions. Check that the equipment is suitable for the task and that PPE fits properly. If you are unsure, hire an expert to do the job or talk to a Bunnings Team Member.
