Below are key sections for safety, parts list, assembly instructions, care, and troubleshooting.

Parts & Tools Included

All components needed for assembly are included in the package. Please verify all parts before starting.

Note: Table top is sold separately. Ensure you have a compatible IKEA or third-party table top.

Safety Instructions

Read all instructions before assembly. Failure to follow may result in injury or damage.

1. Work on a soft surface: Place parts on carpet or cardboard to prevent scratches.
2. Two-person assembly recommended: The frame is heavy; lift with care using proper technique.
3. Check stability: Ensure all screws are tightened securely and frame is level before use.
4. Weight limit: Do not exceed maximum load capacity (see Specifications).
5. Keep away from children during assembly: Small parts may pose a choking hazard.

WARNING! Ensure the underframe is placed on a flat, stable surface. Do not use if any parts are damaged or missing.

Assembly Instructions

Follow these steps to assemble the underframe. Estimated time: 15-20 minutes.

1. Prepare workspace: Clear an area large enough to lay out all parts.
2. Attach leveling feet: Screw each foot into the four corners of the frame base by hand, then tighten with the Allen key.
3. Position frame: Turn the frame upright so the feet are on the floor.
4. Check orientation: Ensure the wider side faces forward (this will be the front of the table).
5. Pre-tighten mounting holes: Insert screws into all eight mounting holes but do not fully tighten yet.

Tip: Do not overtighten screws, as this may strip the threads.

Mounting the Table Top

Once the underframe is assembled, attach your table top securely.

1. Place table top upside down: On a soft, protected surface.
2. Position underframe: Center the frame on the underside of the table top, aligning mounting holes.
3. Secure table top: Insert screws through the frame into the table top. Tighten each screw gradually in a cross pattern.
4. Flip carefully: With assistance, turn the table right-side up.
5. Final check: Ensure no movement between table top and frame.

CAUTION! Use appropriate screws if your table top is not pre-drilled. Avoid drilling into glass or fragile materials.

Adjusting & Leveling

The adjustable feet allow you to stabilize the table on uneven floors.

1. Place table in its final location.
2. Check level: Use a spirit level on the table top.
3. Adjust feet: Turn individual feet clockwise to lower, counterclockwise to raise.
4. Re-check: Ensure the table is stable and does not wobble.
5. Lock feet (if applicable): Some models have a locking nut; tighten after adjustment.

Note: For carpeted floors, you may need to extend feet further to achieve stability.
