Step-by-step assembly
Step 1
Push 4 connector pins (158454) into the edge of one tabletop half.
Lay both halves upside down on a rug first.
Step 2
Push the two halves together.
The pins go into the holes in the other half.
Step 3
Push 4 dowels (101350) into the top of the two leg frames.
2 in each frame. The leg frames come ready-made.
Step 4
Place both frames upside down onto the tabletop.
The legs must lean outwards — check the picture in the manual, step 4.
Step 5
Fix the frames with 8 bolts (104558) and 8 washers (100854).
4 per frame. Use the Allen key in the key handle.
Step 6
Fit the long stretcher under the lower rails.
Fix it with 2 bolts (104558) — one through each rail.
Step 7
Join the two brace pieces with a dowel (101350).
Step 8
Fit the brace between the stretcher and the top rails.
Step 9
Bolt the brace to the stretcher with 2 bolts (104558).
Step 10
Fix both brace ends through the top rails with 2 bolts (104558).
Step 11
Press a felt pad (114138) onto the end of each leg.
Step 12
Tighten the 8 bolts from step 5 once more.
Use the Allen key in the key handle. Check the washers — see the manual, step 12.
Step 13
Turn the table over — with two people.
Lift it over together, as shown in the manual.
Tips & safety
- Assemble with two people. The tabletop and frames are solid acacia — the manual shows two people, especially for turning the table over.
- Work on a soft surface. Lay the tabletop face-down on a rug or the flattened box so it doesn’t get scratched.
