NOTES
NOTE 1: The assembly process is different for a sofa that rests
on one leg frame from a sofa that requires more than one leg
frame (such as a corner unit or extra long sofa). Pages 2 and 3
refer to the assembly of a sofa with one leg frame, and pages
4 through 8 refer to the assembly of a sofa with multiple leg
frames. Please turn to the correct pages for the unit ordered.
NOTE 2: Be certain that all assembly is carried out on a at
and stable surface. This will ensure a good nal result.
Reverse the steps to disassemble the piece.
NOTE 3: 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 document “Unpacking Your Furniture” for further details.
NOTE 4: 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 5: We advise that assembly and disassembly of De La Espada
furniture is undertaken by a minimum of 2 people.
NOTE 6: 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.

1) PLACE THE MODULES IN THE CORRECT ORDER
a)Unpack components and lay them out so they are in the correct
orientation according to your chosen conguration. Seat modules
have a curved edge and a at edge. The curved edge will face
outward. Place all seat modules upside down.
b)Place leg base(s) across the modules. Ensure that one end of
leg base is positioned next to the furthermost seam.

2) ATTACH MODULES WITH HARDWARE
a) The seat base has nuts nestled into holes across the central
axis. Attach the leg base by slotting all bolts through the
holes in leg base and into the nuts in the seat modules. Tight-
en the bolts slightly, but not completely. Firmly tighten just
ONE bolt nearest to the end of the leg base.
IMPORTANT NOTE: The following instructions are for a sofa
with one leg frame only. To assemble a sofa with multiple leg
frames, such as corner unit or extra long sofa, turn to page 4.

positioned nearest to the oor. This will allow the other mod-
ules to slide down slightly into the correct position.
c) Check that all modules are aligned, then tighten the remain-
ing bolts completely. This tightening should be repeated sev-
eral times to ensure the bolts are rmly in place.
3) PREPARE SOFA FOR USE
a) Flip the sofa so it rests in its natural position. This
should be done by a minimum of two people.
b) Place the cushions on the sofa.
c) Assembly is now complete and the sofa is ready for use.

orientation according to your chosen conguration. Seat modules
have a curved edge and a at edge. The curved edge will face
outward. Place all seat modules upside down.
b)Place leg base(s) across the modules. Ensure that one end of
leg base is positioned next to the furthermost seam. Determine
where the sofas will connect, and keep the connection area free
by leaving off the last module of each sofa structure.
c) Insert M8x60 bolts into the connection points and tighten
rmly.

3) ATTACH CONNECTING PLATE
NOTE: The connecting plate needs to be assembled differently
for connecting a corner unit and for connecting more than one
base in a straight line.
Corner Unit Conguration
a) Assemble the connecting plate for a corner unit conguration
following the diagram below. Secure the parts with four M6x16
Panhead Screws tightened only loosely with an Allen Key.
It is important that the screws are not tightened too much at
this stage, to allow for adjustments later in the assembly pro-
cess.
