A method of constructing a wardrobe or cupboard which comprises securing to a wall two vertical tracks each having an apertured surface, mounting on the tracks two side panels each having projections at its rear edge that engage in the apertures in the tracks and subsequently securing horizontal elements of the wardrobe or cupboard to the side panels, wherein the engagement of the rear projections of the side panels in the vertical tracks serves to prevent lateral movement of the rear edges of the side panels relative to the wall and to prevent the side panels from separating from the wall but not to support the weight of the side panels.
A method of constructing a wardrobe or cupboard which comprises:
- providing a free standing base having a top surface, two tracks each having an apertured surface, two side panels each having a rear edge having projections, and pins,
- positioning the free standing base against a wall,
- securing the two tracks to the wall in vertical disposition and in alignment with opposite respective edges of the free standing base,
- mounting the two side panels on the tracks by engaging the rear edges of two side panels in the two tracks respectively and engaging the rear projections in the apertures in the tracks,
- lowering the side panels in the tracks to rest with their lower edges on the free standing base,
- coupling the side panels to the top surface of the free standing base with the pins, and
- subsequently securing horizontal elements of the wardrobe or cupboard to the side panels,
- wherein the engagement of the rear projections of the side panels in the vertical tracks serves to prevent lateral movement of the rear edges of the side panels relative to the wall and to prevent the side panels from separating from the wall but not to support the weight of the side panels.
