Step-by-step assembly
Step 1
Lay the two leg frames upside down, crossed in the middle.
Work on a rug or the flattened box.
Step 2 · manual step 1
Screw the screw into the crossing with the Allen key.
Not fully tight yet — leave a small gap under the head (info box).
Step 3 · manual step 2
Lay the seat shell upside down.
It rests on the top of the back and the front edge of the seat.
Step 4 · manual step 2
Slide a washer onto each of the 4 pins.
The washer rests against the collar of the pin.
Step 5 · manual step 3
Stand the leg frames up the right way.
Step 6 · manual step 3
Turn the shell over and lift it above the legs.
Step 7 · manual step 3
Lower the shell so the 4 pins go into the tops of the legs.
Step 8 · manual step 3
Each pin sits in its leg, with the washer in between.
Step 9 · manual step 4
Turn the chair upside down.
Step 10 · manual step 4
Now tighten the screw fully with the Allen key.
Turn until the head sits snug against the tube (info box).
Step 11 · manual step 4
Turn the chair back onto its legs.
Tips & safety
- Tighten the screw only at the end. In step 1 it stays a little loose; once the shell is on, tighten it fully (step 4).
- Work on a soft surface. The manual shows assembly on a rug, so the frames and the floor don’t get scratched.
- Unsure, or something missing? Contact your IKEA store (manual p. 2).
