Step-by-step assembly
Step 1
Screw a foot (148816) into the end of each of the 4 lower legs.
Turn them in by hand.
Step 2
Slide the lower legs into the ends of the two leg frames.
The marks on the legs set the height — use the same mark on all 4 (see the inset in step 2).
Step 3 · manual step 3–4
Lock each leg with 2 bolts (100013) in sleeve nuts (100602).
8 sets — a sleeve nut on each side, tightened with both Allen keys.
Step 4 · manual step 5
Stand both leg frames upright.
Step 5
Fit the stretcher between the back legs with 2 bolts (122049).
Make sure the bolts go in straight — see the insets in step 5.
Step 6
Lay the 2 top rails onto the leg frames.
Screw holes facing up — see the insets in step 6.
Step 7
Fix the rails with 4 bolts (122049), then tighten all 6.
Use the Allen key 108490.
Step 8
Lay the desktop face-down and turn the frame over onto it.
The cut-out edge can face the back or the front — see manual p. 7.
Step 9
Screw the frame to the desktop with 14 screws (110078).
Use the Allen key 108490.
Step 10
Screw the 10 hooks to the underside with 10 screws (100260).
2 rows of 5 — see step 10 for their positions.
Step 11
Turn the desk upright.
It’s large — get a second person to help.
Step 12 · manual step 11
Turn the feet to level the desk on your floor.
Screw them in or out until it stands steady.
Step 13 · manual step 12
Hang the cable net on the 10 hooks under the desktop.
Tips & safety
- Want the cut-out on the other side? Undo the 7 screws (110078), turn the desktop 180° and screw it back on — manual p. 11.
- Run cables down behind the desktop into the cable net. See manual p. 10.
