ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE DN/HP/SG–2
RIGHT END FRAME LEFT END FRAME
* NOTE
A TENON
B MORTISE HOLE
BACK
STEP-I
Unpack, inspect and lay the parts on a clean, flat, soft surface to avoid marring the wood.
NOTE: During assembly of the furniture please match all joints with the corresponding
letters or numbers stamped on the furniture.
STEP-II
Find the END FRAME with the numbers or letters
stamped near the mortise holes and lay it down first. Fit
the BACK tenons into the END FRAME mortise holes. If
necessary, gently rock the BACK while pushing the
tenons into the mortise holes until the joints fit snugly
together. Place SEAT against END FRAME as shown in the assembly photograph. The
SEAT will have a stamped letter or number on the seat brace underneath the slats. Use it to
make sure the SEAT is not put in backwards.
STEP-III
Place the FRONT STRETCHER tenon into the END FRAME mortise hole.
Make sure rounded edge of the FRONT STRETCHER is facing up. If
necessary, gently rock the FRONT STRETCHER while pushing down until
all joints fit snugly together.

STEP-IV
Fit the remaining END FRAME mortise holes over and onto the BACK and
the FRONT STRETCHER tenons. Using a rubber mallet or regular hammer
with a wood block between the hammer and the wood, drive the tenons and
mortise holes together until all the joints fit snugly. PLEASE BE
CAREFUL SO THAT YOU DO NOT MAR THE WOOD.
STEP-V
Carefully hammer the dowels into their
respective predrilled holes as shown in
the photographs. Make sure not to hit
other parts of the bench. To avoid
dimpling the wood, we suggest that you
place a block of wood between the dowel head and the hammer head for the last few blows.
If the dowels are not completely flush, use a saw to cut the ends and then use sandpaper to
smooth the tops. *** DO NOT FORCE THE DOWELS ***
STEP-VI
Insert brass screws into respective pre-drilled SEAT holes (see photograph).
Please use a proper screwdriver. Using a power screwdriver or a drill with a
screwdriver bit could drive the screw to deep or even through the END
FRAME.
STEP-VII
Attach the decorative brackets to the END FRAMES and
to the FRONT STRETCHER. Make sure the longest end
of the bracket fits under the FRONT STRETCHER.
Brackets are for decorative use only.
