your Savannah dresser/changer and check against the

dresser/changer on a clean, flat surface, making sure there
are no sharp objects present which may mark or damage the
panels.
All wooden dowels are to be fitted by hand and not hammered
into the wood as this could cause the panels to split.

a flathead screwdriver, a hammer and a tape measure.

have trouble assembling the dresser please do not return your purchase to the retailer. Please contact our

Slide the rear upstand over the fittings and tighten
the cams.

Insert two wooden dowels (item 7) into the predrilled
holes in the curved end of each side upstand
(item 25 & 26).
Insert the side upstand dowels into
the corresponding holes in the
changer rail (item 27).
Step 4a:
Push the side upstands into position
and fix from the underside with 2
confirmat screws (item 13),
using the allen key
provided to tighten
the screws
(item 14).

Insert 3 cams (item 6) into the top front rail,
ensuring that the arrows on the cams are pointing
outwards - towards the joining edge - see diagram.

Slide the front rail onto the fittings and push down
firmly until the rail touches the top. Then tighten
the cams, (turn clockwise to tighten).
Note:
The cams should be on the inside face.

FIXING OF THE LEFT HAND END
Step 12:

FIXING OF THE TOP
Step 13:
Taking care to make sure that there is nothing on the floor that could damage the product, carefully turn the
Savannah dresser/changer onto its face.

Step 14:
Before fixing the back panel the unit has to be
square. To do this measure the diagonals - they
should be equal.
Measure from the bottom of a leg to a diagonally
opposite point i.e. where the back leg meets the top
(see diagram). If the dimensions are unequal the
Savannah dresser/changer is not square.
To ‘square up’ the Savannah dresser/changer, gently
push the longest diagonal, then re-measure the
diagonals to check they are equal. Repeat until the
dimensions are equal (within 2-3mm is acceptable).
SQUARING UP THE UNIT
Step 15:
Rest the 2 backs onto the back of the Savannah
dresser/changer. Position the backs up to the edges
of the recesses in the ends and the top.
Fix the outside edges of the back to the legs with
the nails (item 10) one to each corner, see diagram.
Slide the H section (item 11) onto the backs from
the bottom edge and slide it up until it reaches the
underside of the top.
FIXING OF THE BACK

Step 16:
Hammer the rest of the nails (item 10) into the back.

hinge arm out as shown.
Step 18c:
To fit the door bumpers (item 15), measure 20mm
in from the edge of the door as shown and mark
the position with a soft pencil. Then using a hammer
knock in the door bumpers.

Slide the hinges onto the mounting plates.
The ‘U’ in the hinge arm slides around the

screw A onto the mounting plate.
Repeat for the second door, then
gently close the doors.

LEVELLING THE DOORS ON THE SAVANNAH DRESSER/CHANGER
Step 20:
The Savannah dresser/changer can now be placed in the
position you want.
Important: Before use, the Savannah dresser/changer
must be placed on a stable level surface.
If when you have placed the Savannah
dresser/changer in a level position the doors are not
aligned correctly then you will have to adjust the
hinges to compensate. To do this follow the
information given in Steps 21 and 22.
Step 21:
Making small adjustments to the width of the gap
between the doors, loosen screw A then turn screw
B either clockwise or anti-clockwise until the gap
between the doors is even then re-tighten screw A.

assembly from the top of the unit by unscrewing the four confirmat screws (item 13) - see steps 4a and 4b.

covers (item 16), these must be secured in position using the glue supplied (item 17). The upstands can then be repositioned back on top of
the unit with the confirmat screws.
