Step 1
1. The Bastion fastening system consists of a steel post (threaded on one end with a
hole through the shaft on the other end); a Barrel Nut (cylindrical barrel-shaped with
threaded open end & holes through the sides); and a Set Screw (Phillips slot on one end,
pointed on the other)
2. To attach Posts: A) Dip threads of Post in vegetable oil. B) Align threaded end of Post
with hole in wood, tap on slotted end with hard hammer until threads enter, then tighten
down using a flat head screw driver or the provided allen wrench (See the Illus. Bas. 3 for
alternate seating methods). DO NOT TRY TO HAMMER THE POST ALL THE WAY IN AS
IT WILL STRIP THE POST HOLE. C) When solid shaft of Post hits wood, back out
approximately ½ turn until the hole in the posts is properly aligned as per step by step
directions. For example: the holes in the posts on the inside of the drawer front will be
parallel with the long length of the drawer front when properly seated.
3. A) Place a Barrel Nut into the nut access hole, so that the threads in the nut face out.
The small notches on either side of the nut opening, indicate the location of the holes
through the sides of the nut. B) Insert the posts through the end of the braces (or drawer
sides); through the holes in the sides of the nut. When properly aligned, you will see the

RIGHT!
hole in the post inside the barrel nut. Post hole should be slightly off-center toward the wood.
4. Insert the Set Screw into the threaded end of the nut and tighten down. The tip of the Set Screw will seek the center of
the hole in the Post as it is tightened down, forcing the Nut toward the main shaft of the Post. This is what tightens the
wooden parts together. Set screws should thread easily – DON’T CROSS THREAD! If Set Screw doesn’t thread easily,
check position of the hole in Post.
5. If the wooden parts are not tight against each other, the Post needs to be screwed a half turn at a time until wood joints
are tight.

STEP 1
ASSEMBLE SIDE PANELS
A. Each side panel consists of two (2) legs, one
(1) top side brace and one (1) Glide Support
Brace. When assembled, diagonal legs will be
the same (i.e. Front Right/Back Left & Front
Left/Back Right). Side panels are identical when
assembled -- the Drawer Glides will determine
left and right sides.
B. Take each of the 4 legs and install two (2)
Bastion Posts per leg, on the side of the leg
which also has two (2) pin holes for the Glide
Support Sticks. Locate post holes. Tap Posts in
with hammer until threads engage wood; turn
Posts down until the solid shaft hits the wood
(All threads are into wood), then back Posts out
until the holes in the Posts are perpendicular to
the long length of the leg (about 1/2 turn).
C. Lay out Front Left leg and one (1) top side
brace as in Illustration 1A. Note the three pilot
holes for the table top sticks are along the top
inside of the top side brace.
D. Take the top side brace and drop two barrel-
shaped bronze bastion nuts into the nut access
holes as in illustration 1A. Threaded end-of the
nuts face out. Insert front left leg posts into the
holes in the ends of the brace, through the side
of the barrel nuts, until the holes in the posts
can be seen through the threaded end of the
nuts. Insert the Set Screws into the nuts and
tighten down. The tip of the set screw will seek
the center of the bastion post as it is tightened,
leaving a tight joint. If the joint is loose, check to
make sure the set screw is not cross-threaded
or that the post is out too far (not threaded
into leg deep enough.) See previous page for
Bastion illustrations for clarication of assembly.
E. Insert two 3/4” pins into each end of the glide
support brace. Position brace such that the pilot
holes for attaching the glide are towards the
bottom edge. Insert brace pins into the holes
on the inside of the left front leg as in illustration
1B (4 pilot holes out) with pilot holes off-center
toward the bottom of the leg.
F. Attach Back Left leg in same manner as in
illustration 1C.
G. Repeat for other side panel.

ATTACH DRAWER GLIDES TO GLIDE SUPPORT STICKS
A. Take the Drawer Glides, extend them to their fullest. See illustration 4. The Glide has 3 parts.
Remove the furthest extended part (1) (smallest) by pushing the black plastic lever down – then pull
part out, separating it. This part will attach to the Drawer Side later. Attach the largest parts (2&3) to
the Glide Support Stick using holes as illustrated. Attach with 7/16 #6 pan head screws. About 1 1/4”
of this glide will overlap the Front Leg. See illustration 2B.
B. Repeat with the other side.
This end of the glide overlaps front leg 1 1/4”
& the bottom edge drops below the
glide support brace

PREPARE SIDE ASSEMBLIES fOR BACK BRACES
The top back brace utilizes the bastion system for attachment. Place the bastion posts into their
positions on the back legs only of both side assemblies.

STEP 3
ATTACH THE BACK BRACE
AND BOTTOM SHELf
A. The Top Back Brace attaches 1 1/4”
down on the legs, allowing clearance for
the hinges and drop leaf supports. Attach
the back brace with bastions to the right
and left side assembly. Before tightening
the bastions, attach the back wine rack
brace, making sure the off-center pipe
holes are toward the top of the unit.
(See illustration 3B) Use two steel pins
for each side. After the back wine rack
brace is in position, tighten the top back
brace’s bastions. See illustration 3A.
B. Insert the metal wine rack pipes into
the back wine rack brace. Attach the front
wine rack brace to the left leg, off-center
pipe holes at the top, and insert the
metal wine rack pipes into position,
working left to right, nally attaching
the front wine rack brace to the right leg.
See illustration 3C.
C. While holding the wine rack in position,
attach the bottom shelf to the inside of all
four legs using the 1 1/4” #8 screws.
See illustration 3D.
Illustration 3B
Make sure the Pipe holes are positioned
off-center, toward the top for both the
front and back wine braces.

STEP 5
ATTACH TABLE TOP
A. With the top still inverted, invert the leg
assembly onto the top as shown. Secure top
to leg assembly with 5/8” #6 screws through
L-brackets.
STEP 6
ATTACH CASTERS
A. With unit still inverted, tap Caster
Sockets into holes in leg ends until
seated then tap in the Casters.
STEP 4
TABLE TOP PREPARATION
A. Invert table top on smooth, at surface. Attach the 4 L-Brackets with 5/8” #6 screws, using the
round hole as shown in Illustration 4B.
B. Attach the 3 hinges with 5/8” #8 screws. Attach
drop leaf supports with 5/8” #8 screws
as shown in illus. 4A.
Make sure the round
hole is used to attach
the L-Bracket to the
bottom of the table top
Illustration 4B
Illustration 4A
You must use the smaller hole, furthest from the edge
for L-bracket attachment, as shown in illustration 4C.
