Groupe Lacasse assumes no liability if the furniture is not assembled in compliance with the specifications described in this guide. This guide is designed according to two types of layouts: balanced and unbalanced. Each type includes base panels, return panels, laminate gallery end-of-run and intersection panels, or with a wall starter. Each type also takes into account configurations with work surfaces and various storage units. For balanced and unbalanced layouts without components, the return panel(s) and base panels must have the same height. Unsupported panels must not exceed 9' (2744 mm) in length. Return panels may be replaced by a laminate gallery end-of-run panel or a wall starter. Length of the base panels Length of the return panels Min. Max.

Suspended storage units with drop-down door that are installed side by side must be strengthened with a flat bracket. A suspended storage unit with a 24" (610 mm) lower shelf requires additional corner or end brackets when the panel is 24" (610 mm) wide, and a reinforcement bar when the panel is of a different width.

For balanced and unbalanced layouts including suspended storage units with drop-down door, with or without a shelf, the return panel(s) and base panels must have the same height. For layouts including suspended storage units with drop-down door and no shelf, the suspended storage units must be installed side by side along the entire run of the base panels or symmetrically at the ends. For layouts including suspended storage units with drop-down door and with shelf, a corner or end brackets must be installed at the end of the return panel.
