Step-by-step assembly
Step 1
Lay out both side frames. Fit the longer rail onto the front stub.
Compare the two cross rails first — use the longer one here. Line up the holes.
Step 2
Fit the shorter rail onto the rear stub of the same frame.
Line up the holes again.
Step 3
Turn the other side frame over onto the rail ends.
Its 2 stubs slide into the open ends of the rails.
Step 4
Push the 4 bolts (128654) through the rails and stubs.
Push each one all the way in — the bolt head must not stick out of the tube.
Step 5 · manual step 4
Screw the 4 nuts (104875) onto the bolts by hand.
Finger-tight for now — they are tightened in step 6.
Step 6 · manual step 5
Turn the chair over onto its feet.
Step 7 · manual step 5
Push the backrest down onto the two posts until it clicks.
Step 8 · manual step 6
Tighten the 4 nuts with the spanner (108184).
Turn each one clockwise until it is tight.
Step 9 · manual step 7
Lay the seat on the frame and slide it back until it clicks.
The 2 clips at the back of the seat lock onto the rear rail.
Step 10 · manual step 8
Press the front of the seat down until it clicks.
The 2 front clips snap onto the front rail. See the manual, step 8, to check them.
Tips & safety
- The seat and backrest covers are removable. Manual pages 7–8 show how: unzip the backrest cover, unclip the seat, then unzip the seat cover.
- Something unclear or missing? Don’t guess — contact IKEA, as shown on page 2 of the manual.
