Assembly Process Overview
The assembly process involves several steps, starting with attaching hardware to individual panels and then connecting the panels to form the bench structure.
- Preparation of Panel F: Attach fittings (part 2 and 5) to panel F.
- Connecting Panel F and C: Attach panel F to panel C using screws (part 2 and 4).
- Connecting Panel C and B: Attach panel C to panel B using screws (part 2 and 4).
- Connecting Panel E and B: Attach panel E to the main structure (panel B) using screws (part 1 and 4).
- Connecting Panel D and B: Attach panel D to the main structure (panel B) using screws (part 1 and 4).
- Securing Top Edges: Attach additional fittings (part 2) to the top edges of the assembled structure.
- Attaching Feet: Install the feet (part 7) to the bottom of the bench.
- Attaching Hinges to Bench: Secure hinges (part G) to the back edge of the bench structure using screws (part 3 and 6).
