Step 6Assemble
The easiest way to assemble this is to start out by putting the side pieces onto the bookshelf and locking them down with the quarter-turn fasteners.
Next, put the dowel pegs in the holes in the top of the Lack side pieces. Run a bead of wood glue along the top of the piece and then drop the console top in place. Stack some records on top to provide some weight to get a good bond.
The glue is needed because the console top uses the Lack construction method that is like a hollow door. The only solid material is the thin face laminates. The inside is just cardboard honeycomb. So there really isn't enough material for the dowel pegs to friction fit into. The glue will hold it all together.
If you have to move in the future, just release the quarter-turn fasteners, pull the top and sides assembly off, and then you can disassemble the bookcase back into flatpack.
