Step-by-step assembly
Step 1
Lay the ottoman upside down on a soft surface.
A rug protects the rattan while you work.
Step 2 · manual step 1
Place one leg frame on the bottom.
Its 3 tabs lie flat against the bottom, over the holes.
Step 3 · manual step 1
Fix it with 3 bolts (100260) and the Allen key (108490).
Don’t tighten them fully yet — leave a small gap under the heads.
Step 4 · manual step 2
Place the second leg frame the same way.
Step 5 · manual step 2
Fix it with 3 bolts (100260) — again, not fully tight.
Leave a small gap under each head, as in the manual.
Step 6 · manual step 3
Now tighten all 6 bolts firmly with the Allen key.
Each head must sit tight against its tab — no gap.
Step 7 · manual step 4
Stick a felt pad (102428) onto the end of each leg.
4 pads — press them on firmly.
Step 8 · manual step 4
Turn the ottoman over onto its legs.
The storage space is reached through the opening at the end.
Tips & safety
- Assemble on a soft surface. Like the manual shows — a rug keeps the rattan and the floor from getting scratched.
- Check the 6 bolts now and then. If the legs ever feel loose, tighten the bolts again with the Allen key.
- Not sure about something? Contact your IKEA store or customer service — see page 2 of the manual.
