Step-by-step assembly
Step 1
Lay the seat face down on a rug.
Work on a soft surface so the seat doesn’t get scratched.
Step 2 · manual step 1
Push 4 dowels (128995) into the seat.
Use the short dowels here — not 128832.
Step 3 · manual step 2
Place the 2 rails marked C onto the dowels.
The holes in the rail ends point outwards — see the manual, step 2.
Step 4 · manual step 3
Fix the rails to the seat with 6 bolts (117794).
Use the Allen key — not the pointed 113134 bolts.
Step 5 · manual step 4
Push 8 dowels (128832) into the ends of the rails.
2 in each end.
Step 6 · manual step 5
Push one end frame onto the rail ends.

Fix the end frame to the seat with 3 bolts (117794).
Use the Allen key.

Push 2 cross dowels (113153) into the rails.
Turn the slot with a flat screwdriver so the hole faces the leg.

Screw 2 bolts (113134) through the legs by hand.
Don’t tighten them fully yet.
Step 10 · manual step 8
Slide the 2 bottom rails into the legs.

Fix it to the seat with 3 bolts (117794).

Don’t tighten them fully yet.
Step 16
Turn the seat section over onto its legs.
Step 17 · manual step 13
Now tighten all 8 bolts (113134) with the Allen key.
Until the heads sit flush against the legs.
Tips & safety
- Building a sofa? Backrests are sold separately. Link sections with the 2 connectors (10089543) and 4 screws (114574) — see manual AA-2317129.
- Assemble on a soft surface. The manual shows building on a rug, so the seat doesn’t get scratched.
