Step-by-step assembly
Step 1

One in each end of its 3 battens — front, middle and back.

Push 4 dowels (101350) into the bottom shelf.
One in each end of its front and back batten.
Step 3 · manual step 2
Stand both shelves on their long edge, slats facing you.
The top shelf (3 battens) goes nearest the leg tops.
Step 4 · manual step 2
Press a side frame onto the dowels.
The dowels go into the holes in the legs and the top side rail.
Step 5 · manual step 2
Fix it with 4 bolts (100218) and the Allen key.
Slot the Allen key into the 121030 tool for extra grip, as shown in the manual.
Step 6 · manual step 2
Fit the second side frame and fix it with 4 bolts.
Step 7 · manual step 2
Stand the bench upright on its legs.
Tips & safety
- Check that all 8 bolts are tight. If the bench starts to wobble, tighten them again with the Allen key.
- Keep the Allen key and the 121030 tool. You’ll need them to re-tighten the bolts later.
