Assembly Instructions

Assemble the underframe before attaching to the table top.

  1. Lay out all parts and hardware according to the package contents list.
  2. If the underframe comes in multiple pieces, connect them using the provided screws and tools.
  3. Attach the adjustable leg levelers to each leg by screwing them into the pre-threaded holes.
  4. Tighten all connections securely but do not over-tighten to avoid stripping threads.
  5. Flip the assembled underframe upright and place it on a flat surface.
  6. Check stability by gently rocking the frame; adjust levelers if necessary.

Tip: Refer to any included pictorial diagrams for visual guidance during assembly.

Installation with Table Top

Attach the assembled underframe to your IKEA table top.

  1. Place the table top upside down on a soft, protected surface (e.g., carpet or blanket).
  2. Position the assembled underframe centered on the underside of the table top.
  3. Align the pre-drilled holes in the underframe with the mounting points on the table top.
  4. Insert the provided screws through the underframe into the table top.
  5. Tighten all screws securely using the provided tool, ensuring even pressure.
  6. Carefully flip the table right-side up with assistance to avoid injury.
  7. Place the table in its desired location and adjust the leg levelers for stability.

WARNING! Use two people to flip the table; the combined weight can be substantial.

Adjusting the Underframe

Use the adjustable leg levelers to stabilize the table on uneven floors.

  1. Place the table in its final location.
  2. Check for wobble by gently pressing on each corner.
  3. To adjust a leg, turn the leveler clockwise to raise that corner or counterclockwise to lower it.
  4. Make small adjustments and re-check stability until the table is rock-solid.
  5. If the leveler becomes loose, ensure it is fully threaded into the leg before adjusting.

Note: Some levelers may have locking nuts; tighten these after adjustment to secure the setting.

Care & Maintenance

Clean the underframe regularly to maintain appearance and function.

  1. Use a soft, dry cloth to remove dust and dirt.
  2. For stubborn marks, dampen the cloth with water or a mild detergent solution; wipe gently and dry immediately.
  3. Avoid abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or harsh chemicals that may damage the powder coating.
  4. Periodically check and tighten screws and levelers to ensure ongoing stability.
  5. If moving the table, lift rather than drag to prevent damage to floors and the underframe.

CAUTION! Do not use excessive water or liquids; moisture can cause corrosion if it seeps into joints.
