Step-by-step assembly

  1. Step 1: In the box: the slatted tabletop and the folded legs. — IKEA TÄRNÖ assembly

    Step 1

    In the box: the slatted tabletop and the folded legs.

    The two leg frames are already joined where they cross.

  2. Step 2: Lay the tabletop upside down on a soft surface. — IKEA TÄRNÖ assembly

    Step 2

    Lay the tabletop upside down on a soft surface.

    The two metal rails and the centre block face up.

    Hold the folded legs over the tabletop and open them out.

    Hook the 4 pins into the keyhole slots at the ends of the rails.

    Step 7 · manual step 2

    Screw the knob (123750) through the plate into the insert.

    Step 8

    Turn the table the right way up.

Tips & safety

  • To fold the table: unscrew the knob, then unhook the legs. Press the leg frames together to free the pins from the slots — manual page 4.
  • Keep the knob screwed into the insert while the table is folded. The manual shows it stored there, in the centre block — page 4.
  • This manual covers the table only. The two TÄRNÖ chairs in the set are folding chairs — no assembly steps for them here.
