Step-by-step assembly
Step 1
Lay the bench upside down on a soft surface.
The lid rests on the rug; the underside faces up.
Step 2 · manual step 1
Place the two leg frames on the underside, over the holes.
The short arms lie flat on the bottom; the long rails run along the front and back.
Step 3 · manual step 1
Fix the frames with 8 bolts (111374) and the Allen key.
2 bolts in each short arm — tighten them all firmly.
Step 4 · manual step 1
Turn the bench over onto its legs.
Step 5 · manual step 2
Open the lid.
It is already hinged at the back.
Step 6 · manual step 2
Press the gas spring onto the two ball studs until it clicks.
Top end onto the stud on the lid, bottom end onto the stud inside the right end.
Step 7 · manual step 3
Put the fabric liner into the box.
Step 8 · manual step 4
Fold up the back edge of the liner and press it onto the strip.
Work along the whole back edge.
Step 9 · manual step 5
Do the same along the front edge.
Step 10 · manual step 6
Press the liner onto the strips at both ends.
Step 11 · manual step 6
Close the lid.
The gas spring lowers it gently.
Tips & safety
- Assemble on a soft surface. Like the manual shows — a rug protects the fabric and the floor.
