Step-by-step assembly
Step 1
Lay the seat part with the backrest upside down on a table.
The backrest hangs down over the edge of the table.
Step 2 · manual step 1
Push 3 dowels (101359) into the edge of the seat.
Step 3 · manual step 2
Push the front seat part onto the dowels.
Check the holes are placed as shown — see the manual, step 2.
Step 4 · manual step 3
Push the two leg frames onto the cross stretcher.
Legs pointing up. Check which way they lean — see the manual, step 3.
Step 5 · manual step 3
Fix it with 2 screws (100219) and the Allen key.
Use the coarse-thread screws 100219 here — not 105106.
Step 6 · manual step 4
Place the leg frame on the seat with the holes lined up.
The cleats rest on the underside of both seat parts.
Step 7 · manual step 5
Turn in 8 bolts (105106) by hand.
Use the bolts 105106 here — not the screws.
Step 8 · manual step 6
Tighten all 8 bolts with the Allen key.
Stop when the heads sit flush — don’t sink them into the wood.
Step 9 · manual step 7
Stick a felt pad onto the end of each leg.
Felt pads 10050334 — 4 in total.
Step 10 · manual step 7
Turn the chair over onto its legs.
Step 11 · manual step 8
Fit the 2 armrests.
Post into the hole in the seat, back end against the backrest post.
Step 12 · manual step 9
Screw each armrest to the backrest post: 2 screws (100219).
Press the armrest against the post while you tighten.
Step 13 · manual step 9
Fix the armrest posts from under the seat: 2 screws (100219).
Step 14
Put the seat cushion in place.
Tips & safety
- Work on a table. Steps 1–7 are done upside down, with the backrest hanging over the table edge.
- Two kinds of fasteners. Bolts 105106 fix the leg frame (steps 5–6); screws 100219 go in the stretcher and armrests (steps 3 and 9).
