Step-by-step assembly
Step 1
Screw a foot (139294) into the bottom end of each post.
4 posts, 4 feet — turn them in by hand.
Step 2
Snap a pair of clips (130531) onto each post at the first marking.
The marking near the foot — press the two halves together round the post.
Step 3
Slide the bottom shelf onto the 2 posts lying on the floor.
Push it down onto the clips. Check which way the collars face — see the manual, step 3.
Step 4
Push the other 2 posts through the shelf 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 (130531) round each post at the middle 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 6
Lower the middle shelf over the posts onto the clips.
Step 9 · manual step 7
Snap 4 more pairs of clips onto the posts at the top marking.
Step 10 · manual step 8
Lower the top shelf onto the clips.
Step 11 · manual step 9
Press a cap (139285) onto the top of each post.
Step 12 · manual step 10
Snap a wall bracket (10054272) round each back post, under the top shelf.
Check the position in the manual, step 10.
Step 13 · manual step 10
Push the unit against the wall and screw both brackets to it.
Wall screws and plugs are not included. Skirting board 10–15 mm? Fit the spacer (10054270) — see step 10.
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 on top of each other? The information pages at the end of the manual show how — and the maximum height.
