    Slide the ring down over the lock.

    The ring holds the lock closed.

    Step 7 · manual step 2

    Do the same with the ring on the other side.

    Check that both rings cover their locks.

Tips & safety

  • Check both locks before you use the table. Both locks clicked and both rings slid down over them (manual p. 3).
  • To fold it, follow manual p. 4. Slide the rings up, lift the bar to release the locks (2×) and fold the top down. Folded, it can lean against a wall.
  • Unsure, or something missing? Contact your IKEA store (manual p. 2).
