Step-by-step assembly
Step 1
GUNDE comes folded — there is nothing to screw together.
You only unfold it and lock the seat.
Step 2 · manual step 1
Stand the folded stool upright.
Hold it by the seat and the frame, as in the manual.
Step 3 · manual step 1
Swing the seat down towards the back.
Hold the frame with one hand and lower the seat with the other.
Step 4 · manual step 1
Keep lowering the seat — the legs open out.
Keep your fingers away from the hinges under the seat edge.
Step 5 · manual step 2
Press the seat down firmly with both hands.
Push down near both sides of the seat.
Step 6 · manual step 2
Both sides must click into place (2×).
The pegs on the frame snap into the clips under the back of the seat.
Tips & safety
- Mind your fingers. When you fold or unfold GUNDE, hold the seat by its handle hole — not at the edge by the hinges (manual p. 2).
- Check that both sides have clicked. Only use the stool when the seat is locked down on both sides (manual step 2).
- Unsure, or something missing? Contact your IKEA store (manual p. 2).
