Step-by-step assembly
Step 1
Screw a foot (10058633) into the bottom end of each post.
4 posts, 4 feet — turn them in by hand.
Step 2
Snap a pair of clips (10056864) onto each post at the first marking.
Press the two halves together round the post, between two grooves.
Step 3
Stand a shelf on its long edge and push 2 posts into its lower corners.
Check which way the shelf faces — see the manual, step 3.
Step 4
Push the other 2 posts through the upper corners.
Feet toward the same end as the first two.
Step 5
Stand the frame upright on its feet.
Step 6 · manual step 5
Snap a pair of clips (10056864) round each post at the top marking.
Each clip fits between two grooves, not across one — see the manual, step 5.
Step 7 · manual step 5
Repeat on the other 3 posts.
Step 8 · manual step 5
Lower the top shelf over the posts onto the clips.
Step 9 · manual step 6
Press a cap (10056885) onto the top of each post.
Step 10 · manual step 7
Push the unit to the wall and loop the strap (139346) round the back rail.
The back rail of the top shelf — see the manual, step 7.
Step 11 · manual step 7
Screw the strap to the wall.
Wall screws and plugs are not included. Never cut the strap or heat it.
Tips & safety
- Always fix OMAR to the wall. Furniture tip-over can cause serious or fatal crushing injuries. Use screws and plugs suited to your wall — ask a specialist if unsure.
- Stacking units? Two high at most. The manual shows two units stacked as OK, three as not allowed — see page 11.
