Step-by-step assembly
Step 1
Screw the 4 seat brackets (122620) into their holes.
One in each side frame, two in the front seat rail.

Each end: 1 large dowel (101357) and 1 dowel (101350).

Fit the back seat rail into side frame A.
It goes in at the bend of the back leg.

Push 8 dowels (101350) into the back slat and the front seat rail.
Two in each end. The seat brackets face inwards.
Step 5 · manual step 3
Press the slat, the front seat rail and the footrest into side frame A.
Step 6 · manual step 4
Turn side frame B over onto the dowels.
Press it down so all the dowels go into their holes.
Step 7 · manual step 5
Stand the stool upright.
Step 8 · manual step 5
Fasten the rails with the 6 long bolts (128758).
2 at the seat and 1 at the footrest on each side, with the Allen key. The short bolts are for step 6.

Fasten the back slat with the 2 short bolts (10042205).
One through each back post, with the Allen key.

Pre-punch each hole with an awl, then use the Phillips screwdriver.

Your NORDVIKEN bar stool is ready.
