    Step 2

    Set one leg frame onto the seat.

    The legs point up, the cleat lies flat on the seat.

    Fit 3 short bolts (114575) with 3 washers (100842).

    3 short bolts (114575) and 3 washers (100842), still loose.

    Your SKOGSTA chair is ready.

Tips & safety

  • Bolts loose first, tight last. Tighten the seat bolts only in step 5.
  • Work on a cloth. Lay the seat on a cloth so it doesn’t get scratched.
