Step-by-step assembly
Step 1
Lay a side frame flat and push 4 dowels (101345) into its legs.
Two dowels in the inner face of each leg.

Press the two slat panels onto the dowels.
Slats run across the frame, like in the manual.

Fix both panels to the frame with 4 screws (109547).
Two screws through each panel batten into the leg.
Step 4 · manual step 3
Lay the second side frame flat and push in 4 dowels (101345).
Step 5 · manual step 3
Turn the assembly over onto the second side frame.
The panel ends go onto the dowels.
Step 6 · manual step 4

Step 7 · manual step 5

Step 8 · manual step 5
Lower the bottom shelf into the stool.
It rests on the two cleats inside the side frames.

Tap 4 glides (108787) into the underside of the lid.

Turn the lid over and put it on top of the stool.
Tips & safety
- The lid lifts off — use the inside for storage. The glides keep it steady on the legs.
- Check now and then that the 8 screws are tight. Re-tighten them with a Phillips screwdriver if the stool wobbles.
