Installation & Assembly

Unless you are particularly adept at assembling flat-pack/knock-down
furniture, we understand building ready-to-assemble furniture can be a
frustrating experience for some. To help avoid confusion and to make
the assembly process quicker and smoother, we have provided some
helpful tips. Before you begin the assembly, please read the following:
1. Due to the size and/or weight on most of the ready-to-assemble furniture, it is
highly
recommended that the assembly should be done near the area of its
intended location. Make sure you have enough space to move around
during
the
assembly. ALWAYS have at least two people to help with transporting
and
as
sembling of the product to avoid any potential injury and/or damage.
2. To protect from damage, assemble the item on a clean, protective surface,
such as on a carpet or
cardboard.
3. Make
sure you have taken all the parts and hardware out of their packaging.
Do not throw away packaging material until assembly is completed.
4. Make su
re all parts and hardware are accounted for by comparing the actual
parts
and hardware to the list provided in the assembly instructions.
Also
check
for any irregularity such as crack, flaw or improperly drilled hole. If there
is any problem or missing piece, please contact the manufacturer or
the
supplie
r. Please have the model number, part number and a brief descript
ion
of the problem ready will help expedite the replacement process.
5. Read
the entire instruction manual and view the diagrams first bef
ore
a
ssembling. Arrange your parts in order of use and group the identic
al
hardware
together to make it easier to grab each piece as you begin to
assemble.
6. During the assembly process, make sure all parts are properly aligned before
tightening
with the tool provided or required for the assembly. Do not
use
power
tools and do not over tighten.
7. When applying glue to the wood dowels to bond the parts togethe
r, please be
ABSOLUTELY certain that the parts are correct and lined up with each ot
her
(re
fer to diagrams and take notice of the various pre-drilled hole locations).
When in doubt, assemble the parts together first and if the parts fit right, t
hen
apply
glue to the wood dowels.
