Step-by-step assembly
Step 1
Push the 2 front legs into the front corners of the seat frame.
Lay the seat frame upside down on a soft surface.
Step 2
Fit washer 108383, spring washer 100843 and bolt 10039359.
2× — through the corner bracket into each front leg. Screw in by hand only, no Allen key yet.
Step 3
Turn the seat frame over onto its back edge.
The front legs now point towards you.
Step 4
Push the 2 pins of the backrest into the back corners.
The backrest lies flat behind the seat frame.
Step 5
Push the 2 back legs into the back corners.
Check the L and R legs and push them all the way in — see the manual, step 5.
Step 6
Fit the other 2 bolts with washers — by hand.
Press each leg tight against the frame, no gap. No Allen key yet.
Step 7
Stand the chair upright.
Step 8 · manual step 7
Now tighten all 4 bolts with the Allen key.
By hand — the manual says: don’t use a power drill.
Step 9 · manual step 8–9
Pull the cover down over the backrest.
Smooth it all the way down to the seat.
Step 10
Push the flap at the bottom of the back cover through the gap.
Between the backrest and the seat — see the manual, step 10.
Step 11
Pull the cover over the seat and down around the corners.
Step 12 · manual step 11
Turn the chair upside down on a table.
Let the backrest hang down over the edge.
Step 13 · manual step 12
Fold the cover edges in under the seat frame.
Press them down all the way round — see the manual, step 12.
Step 14
Turn the chair the right way up.
Your BERGMUND chair is ready.
Tips & safety
- Hand-tight first, Allen key last. Screw the bolts in by hand in steps 2 and 6; tighten them with the Allen key only in step 7 — never with a power drill.
- Work on a soft surface. The manual shows assembling on a rug or the cardboard from the box, so nothing gets scratched.
