NOTES
NOTE 1: Be certain that all assembly is carried out on a at
and stable surface. This will ensure a good nal re
sult. Reverse the steps to disassemble the piece.
NOTE 2: Your furniture arrives packed in numerous layers that
protect it during transport. It is important that you remove
the packaging carefully to avoid damaging your furniture. Refer
to our information sheet “Unpacking Your Furniture” for further
details.
NOTE 3: Great care is required when assembling our products as
they can mark very easily if banged or dropped. Use blankets
to soften the assembly surface - hard surfaces such as wood or
stone ooring may damage the furniture if in direct contact.
NOTE 4: We advise that assembly and disassembly of De La Espada
furniture is undertaken by a minimum of 2 people.
NOTE 5: When screwing in bolts, tighten well, but be sure
NOT TO OVERTIGHTEN. This can cause the thread to strip thus
resulting in a poor connection.

2) ATTACH PANELS TO SOFA BASE ASSEMBLY
a) Place each panel onto the sofa base, aligning the holes in
the hardware with the pre-drilled holes in the base.
For side panels, locate the correct holes by aligning the pre-
drilled holes at the front of the sofa base with the three
holes in the corresponding hardware. This will locate the cor-

BELLE REEVE SOFA: SEAT PADS
[e-mail] M DELAESPADA.COM
7) ATTACH SEAT PADS
NOTE: Seat pads are intentionally larger than the sofa base to
allow for a slight doming effect that provides increased com-
fort. As such, it is important to align seat pads ush with key
points of the sofa base. The excess dimensions will then be
pushed into the backrests for a tidy appearance.
a) Attach the seat pads to the sofa base using the velcro lo-
cated on the underside of each. Align the seat pads with the
sofa base, both front to back and side to side, as detailed in
the notes below. Next, squeeze the rear and sides of the seat
pads into the space where they meet the backrests.
FRONT TO BACK ALIGNMENT
Align the front face of each seat pad ush with the front face
of the sofa base.
SIDE-TO-SIDE ALIGNMENT
Consider side-to-side alignment of the seat pads according to
the sofa conguration ordered.
Example 1 - Symmetrical layout:
If you have a symmetrical layout, align the seat pads with the
centre point of the sofa base frame. For two seat pads of equal
size, align the edge of each with the centre point. For three
seat pads of equal size, align the centre point of the middle
seat pad with the centre point of the sofa base, then when you
place the other seat pads, push the sides of the centre seat
pad inward slightly to condense it.
Example 2 - Corner Unit layout:
If you have a corner unit arrangement with a daybed on one
side, then begin aligning the seat pad on the daybed rst.
Align the seat pad with the sofa base ush at both the front
and the sides, doming the centre of the pad slightly if needed.
Example 3 - Ottoman:
If you have an ottoman, you will need to align all four edges
of the seat pad with the four edges of the sofa base. To do
this, you will need to create a slight dome in the centre. Once
all sides are aligned, you can push down the centre of the pad.
ASSESSING PLACEMENT
After placing the seat pads, take a step back and look at the
overall sofa appearance. If alignment can be improved, then
lift the relevant seat pads and realign as needed until the
desired result is achieved.

b) Assembly is now complete and your sofa is ready for use.
8) LEVEL SOFA
a) Once the sofa is fully assembled, level it using the level-
lers on the bottom of the feet.
