Now, find your matching vertical and lay it on top of the assembly. Add all confirmat screws, which will fully attach that vertical to the shelves and to the 3/4" back. Next, carefully flip the entire assembly so that the vertical that was flat against the floor is now on top and the vertical that was just fully attached is flat against the floor/blankets. Add all remaining confirmat screws to the assembly.
The cabinet is now fully assembled and is ready to be installed.
Installing the cabinets Before installing, ensure you have a flat substrate on which to mount the cabinets. Cut out any chair rail and you may need to fur out areas of the wall if necessary. The back of the cabinet should fully contact the wall at all mounting points. Measure off your stud locations. Predrill holes (no countersink) in the back of the cabinet and preload the holes with screws and finish washers. Move the cabinet close to the install position. If installing 6-12” off the floor, use a motorcycle jack/lift to place the cabinet and get it to the correct mounting height. If installing further off the floor, use a third hand device (or your install companion) to help position the cabinet in place while attaching the first screw. Subsequent adjacent cabinets should first be positioned and then the verticals screwed together before attaching to the wall. This will result in the verticals being perfectly lined up when complete. Use clamps and then secure with 1.25” screws.
