Safety Instructions

Read all instructions before assembly. Ensure a clean, spacious work area.

  1. Lifting: The underframe is heavy; use two people to move and position it.
  2. Stability: Always install the underframe on a flat, level surface. Use the adjustable glides to stabilize.
  3. Assembly: Use only the provided IKEA hardware. Do not overtighten screws.
  4. Final Check: After attaching the table top, ensure all connections are secure and the table does not wobble.

WARNING! Do not stand or sit on the underframe or assembled table. The underframe is designed to support the table top and its intended load only.

Assembly Instructions

The underframe comes pre-assembled. These steps are for attaching it to the DOCKSTA table top.

  1. Prepare: Place the table top upside down on a soft, protected surface (e.g., carpet or blanket).
  2. Position Underframe: With help, place the underframe centered on the bottom of the table top. Align the screw holes in the underframe's top plate with the pre-drilled holes in the table top.
  3. Attach: Insert the provided wood screws through the holes in the underframe and into the table top. Tighten firmly by hand using a screwdriver or Allen key (if provided), but do not overtighten.
  4. Flip Table: Carefully turn the assembled table right-side up. Use two people.

Tip: Do not drag the table across the floor after assembly. Lift it to move.

Installation & Leveling

CAUTION! An unlevel table is a tipping hazard. Always use the glides to achieve full stability.
