Tips & safety

  • Two sizes of bolt. The 6 long bolts (100042706) hold the leg frames, the 4 short ones (128633) the backrest.
  • Work on a soft surface. The manual shows a cloth on the table so the seat and backrest don’t get scratched.
  • Missing a part? The manual says: contact your IKEA store for help.
