Step-by-step assembly
Step 1
Lay both tops upside down on a rug.
The 4 longer legs go on the large top, the shorter ones on the small top (page 6).
Step 2 · manual step 1
Screw a long leg into the large top by hand.
Hold it at its slant and turn it clockwise.
Step 3 · manual step 1
Screw the other 3 long legs in the same way.
Step 4 · manual step 2
Turn each leg until it sits tight against the top.
No gap and no thread may show at the joint.
Step 5 · manual step 1
Now the small top: screw in the 4 short legs.
Same as for the large table — by hand, clockwise.
Step 6 · manual step 2
Turn each short leg until it sits tight.
No gap and no thread may show at the joint.
Step 7
Turn the large table over onto its legs.
Step 8
Turn the small table over onto its legs.
Step 9
Set the small table in front of the large one.
Its top tucks partly under the large top.
Tips & safety
- Max. load 10 kg (22 lb) per table. Delicate tables — do not sit on them or put heavy objects on them (manual p. 2).
- Assemble on a soft surface. The manual shows the tops lying on a rug — a hard floor can scratch the veneer.
- Something unclear or missing? The manual says: contact your IKEA store before you continue.
